“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we take a moment to remember #Selma today, Dr. King’s words give us hope.

Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice thanx John Lewis for all the #GoodTrouble along the way!

“I have a kinship to this bridge. Every year, I make it a point to go back to that bridge and cross that bridge. I’ve gone back the first weekend in March since 1965.” Congressman John Lewis
