Description
At the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial
Washington DC
April, 2017
The walls of Dr. King's memorial are carved around with quotes from various speeches he made over the years. It was historically interesting and quite thought provoking to read his words fifty years later.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me. ~ Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886
It's funny how a picture can trigger a memory. It seems Dickinson's little bird is having a rough time lately.
This is an extremely powerful image. Let's hope his future is better than our present.

Fifty years already! This image says even more than the quote, and I love Mark's poem memory

Wonderful photo, Tara! Such a shame that this kind of wisdom can be carved into a stone edifice, but not into our hearts as a species.
