MLK- Where do we go from here

    When I read the title of this reading I immediately thought of a song written by a group in Blacksburg shortly after the shootings at VT. It had the same title, and more or less the same basic meaning: where do you go when things have gotten so bad that it seams nothing can fix it? MLK, in my opinion, was right on point. He says that for anything to change, you must change yourself first. You must believe that it can be done and envision it happening. For African Americans, he urged them to look inside themselves and see someone who is equal to a white man. I think MLK really believed this and did this himself, which is why he was so successful and influential. Just like the students and families of VT, African Americans had to stand up, believe that their horrific past did not define them, and move on.
