… make sure you go to the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. Allot some time. Bring your Kleenex. It wiped us both out.

Incredible that we could ever have treated each other like this, that it could have gone on so long, that as freedoms approached they were fought against so hard. There is more work to do. I wondered what the leaders from the 50s/60s would say if they could see where we are now.

Praying reconciliation and healing over our country and wondering what my part needs to be in this.
