Making peace with the March on Washington 2013

Posted on August 24, 2013 by kwilder

8/30/13 Update: Ian was hoping that former President Carter’s speech would be a ray of truth in a celebration full of carefully scripted platitudes.  Carter did mention the the over-incarceration of African-American males in the US and the need for DC statehood.  He did not mention the injustices of the current administration, including the constant […]

Martin Luther King events with Occupy Wall Street

Posted on January 11, 2012 by kwilder

Dr. King said “A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and say: ‘This is not just.’” Occupy Wall Street resonates with the vision of Dr.  Martin Luther King. There are many occupy events in New York […]

Ben Jealous, the world will remember that you put petty partisan politics above the life of Troy Davis.

MLK quote was real enough! Don’t let the haters take the message away…

Posted on May 3, 2011 by kwilder

Somehow, those of us who believe in peace are easily shamed and/or thwarted by the right-wing. Don’t let them take away the energy of Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings, or our grace in eschewing hatred, just by saying that we got a quote wrong. Martin Luther King, Jr. did say:

MLK to O: We Must End Our Violence Abroad and At-Home

Posted on January 8, 2011 by iwilder

Ian writes: Today’s shooting in Arizona of Congresswoman Giffords is an awful reminder of why violence is not the answer to political disagreements.  Dr. King was widely criticized, including on the editorial pages of the New York Times, for broadening his speeches from only violence at home to include  violence abroad. In a famous speech, […]

The War Machine has sprung forward…spring back…

Posted on September 27, 2010 by kwilder

The following demonstrations were called with the purpose of protesting FBI raids on peace activists which appear to be a government action to stifle dissent. Note that over the weekend, NATO did air strikes in Pakistan. It appears that the war machine is taking steps forward. It would be good for the peace movement to […]

Happy Martin Luther King Day

Posted on January 18, 2010 by kwilder

KW: Though we honor the work of Martin Luther King, we are not doing a lot to celebrate this year. (Well, actually doing some “peace work”, and I hope that counts.) Tried to find a useful website for a mini-celebration on-line. The Seattle Times has a pretty cool archive set up about the life of […]
