“I Fear I May Have Integrated My People Into a Burning House” by Martin Luther King Jr.

The comment below was captured and copied from a blog by Miss Higgi.  Garyside could not have said it better.  Read on 

“. . . We were a determined and resourceful people realizing self sufficiency despite despicable treatment and being deprived a fair share of and/or access to services generated by our tax dollars. Discrimination and racism was blatant and rampant. You know, as it is now… We were mad sick and tired of being sick and tired so we fought. I get it…

Inspired by Dr. King and others, still we fight. He came to realize toward the end of his life, that he had helped to walk us into an eternally burning building where we will never be fully acknowledged or accepted.

The benefit of hindsight has taught us that integration was not a good thing for the Black community. In pursuit of integration we lost ourselves and the soul of our community. Still we pay the price…

Today and everyday, Celebrate the Man, his legacy and in his honor and those who fought with him. Continue the Fight!!!

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!!!”   Author Miss Higgi.  Source:  misshiggi.medium.com
