Check out this moving guest column reflecting on MLKs legacy and the CIWs struggle for justice written by FGCU Professor Anne Hartley in the Naples Daily News. “On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on lifes roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on lifes highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.” So said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ... Dr. King recognized that it’s not enough to provide charity to the poor. We must make the Jericho road safe for future generations. The CIW and other members of the Fair Food Program are doing just that.
