The Legacy of Hope

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.

~Emily Dickinson

Visiting the Lorraine Motel in Memphis two summers ago, made real for me the images of history that for so long were a story on film. The National Civil Rights Museum is one of the most well-curated exhibitions I've ever experienced. Housed next to the Memphis site where the life of a great man was extinguished, it's a place where the light of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. continues to shine. His words and footsteps still ring like a bell of hope...

Let dreams be realized & let freedom ring!
