Martin Luther King, Jr. showed the nation that one does not have to be elected, wealthy or born with a great pedigree to leave an indelible mark on the nation and the world. Conviction was all Martin Luther King, Jr. brought to the fight of equality, yet look at the battle he waged! He was a grassroots activist.
Although primaries have already started and debates are still raging, let us remember that the fight is not over. Grassroots activists with a conviction as deep as Martin Luther King’s have the ability and responsibility to make a difference.
So go be active in your primaries, but remember in the fall we all join together for a common cause with a common purpose based in conviction and carried out in the grassroots.
