Notes About The Poem

NELLA’S BLESSING

 

We’ve all heard Martin Luther King Jr.’s words…

If we didn’t hear him speak them we’ve all had chance to read them…

but if we haven’t paid attention to them before…

now, more than ever, may we be blessed to heed them.

 

It was 1967 in a lecture at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church

in Montgomery, Alabama…When Martin said…

In the end

we will remember not the words of our enemies…

but the silence of our friends…

 

 

 

SIENCE AND MARTIN

NELLA’S BLESSING

We’ve all heard Martin Luther King Jr.’s words…
If we didn’t hear him speak them we’ve all had chance to read them…
but if we haven’t paid attention to them before…
now, more than ever, may we be blessed to heed them.

It was 1967 in a lecture at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church
in Montgomery, Alabama…When Martin said…
In the end
we will remember not the words of our enemies…
but the silence of our friends…
