Last week, we were fortunate to participate in a march to the Texas Capitol Building to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The atmosphere was celebratory but one of challenge as well. How can we help create the dream that Dr. King articulated so beautifully? How can we act in ways that promote respect and justice - in our city, in our world?
Merrit enjoyed capturing some pictures!
The rally at the Capitol included musicians, politicians, and many powerful speakers.
We are grateful to celebrate Dr. King's legacy and to participate in his visions for our nation and our world. Here is a beautiful quote from Dr. King: "I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God's universe is made; this is the way it is structured."
At Austin Agape, we aim to realize more clearly that our personhood is tied together with the identity of others. We remember once again that we are called to work for peace and justice in our world, in our neighborhoods, and on our very campus.
We are grateful for Dr. King's leadership!
