While every day is a good one for personal, professional, spiritual, and communal reflection - today, we are thinking of one mans inspiration to see a future different from his present circumstances and bravery in working to bring that vision to reality. In this clip, Martin Luther King discusses the inequities in a political system that chooses winners and losers. As migration to the west was happening, millions of poor Americans and immigrants were given land grants to start a new life and develop the American dream on their own private piece of land provided by the government. Unfortunately, after slavery, black people were excluded from this opportunity to build homes on land grants. This picking of winners and losers is a devastating economic hit to the African American community to this day. https://youtube/watch?v=LvYuiXi2qyA
