Imagine it is 1963 and you walk outside to see your neighbor, Martin, leaving hastily on his way to do something. The speed of his leaving makes even the man across the street curious enough to ask.”Martin, where are you running off to again?” Dr. King turns to the man as his key unlocks the car door, and says, “Friend, look around you, can’t you see the work that needs to be done?…and if so, how about coming along with me?”

“Ah, there you go again Martin,” replies the man, “you worry too much about politics and the like. Things are going to workout…I mean, don’t you watch television?…they say it all the time. Anyway, you are too radical for me…reading, truth searching, voting…let somebody else do all that work for rights and freedoms. Besides, doesn’t your Bible teach that we are in the “end times,” and things are like this because it’s the way it’s suppose to be?…You know, prophecy and all that.”

Suddenly the phone rings indoors, for the man who had been speaking, and he announces. “Oh well, excuse me Rev, some of us have a life…later my brothers.” And he trots off as Dr. King happens to look your way. “Excuse me friend, I notice you standing there…no doubt you heard the conversation? Listen,” he opens the car door, “I am on my way to talk to a few folks gathered at the Lincoln Memorial…would you like to join us?” Click here to be inspired, and to see how things turned out.

What would your response have been to M.L.K Jr? What if Dr. King listened to types like the man across the street? Has some convenient distraction, carried you away from getting involved in the fate of your society? For the clarion call continues today, arguably in a time where the situation is much worse than it was even then. If you are not convinced that it is, I would strongly suggest that you do your best efforts to, “Look Into It.”
