Fighting Relentlessly, Entering Every Domain to Obliterate Manslaughter
And I say to you today my friends, let freedom ring. From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the mighty Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only there; let freedom ring from the Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain in Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill in Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we're free at last!"
The great speech from our dear brother, Martin Luther King, Jr. This speech is drenched with words of power and hope. A speech that should seem quite simple for some. I mean why not come together as a human race? Why not live together in harmony? Why hate someone based on the color of their skin? Why make up characterizations and place systematic boundaries on a particular race just because you are choosing not to like them? Why are we even still discussing this issue? All of these years and yet hate crimes have not ceased. What is the solution?
Well, it is complicated. In our frustration and pain, we must remember the dream. The dream that one day we will be able to come together as one. Until that blessed day comes we must band together as a race and support one another. There is power in strength and we must take this time to comfort one another and educate the unlearned on the many struggles our race has faced and are still facing. This is not the time to go against each other, but to stick together. By sticking together and looking to God, we can find more answers than forgetting our faith and fighting with each other. It is not time to lose hope or faith because HE still cares even though we are in great despair. Let us rally together until those rich words that were spoken becomes a reality and pass down that same tenacity for change to the following generations. Find local organizations in support of the movement. Maybe God will lead you to start one if there aren’t any. Let’s not be idle. Let’s not just post hashtags and wear t-shirts. We have to continue to break down these hateful walls. Black IS Beautiful and we have a right to live freely! Free to raise our kids, work, and enjoy life like any other tax paying American citizen. LET F.R.E.E.D.O.M. ring! Fighting Relentlessly, Entering Every Domain to Obliterate (black) Manslaughter!

What does freedom mean to you? How important is freedom to you? It's time for us to M.O.V.E. Mobilize and Organize for Victory and Empowerment! Hash tagging is not enough. Marching is good and has proven effective, but it's still not quite enough. We have to be strategic in our actions and pure with our intentions.
What is our purpose in all of this as Christians? First, we are not allow any form of media to discount the power that we have as a people. Matthew 5:16 tells us to let our light shine before men so that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven
