Sharing a track I created inspired by these challenging times.  I know I have benefited from black america’s fight for equality.  My entire community has benefited... All minority groups have benefited.  Let’s continue this fight together.

I wrote this to accompany MLK’s speech “How Long...Not Long”.

Here’s the transcript:

“I know you are asking today, 'How long will it take?' Somebody’s asking, 'How long will prejudice blind the visions of men?'...

I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because truth crushed to earth will rise again.

How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever. 
How long? Not long, because you shall reap what you sow. 
How long? Not long.

Truth forever on the scaffold, 
Wrong forever on the throne, 
Yet that scaffold sways the future, 
And, behind the dim unknown, 
Standeth God within the shadow, 
Keeping watch above his own.

How long? Not long, 
Because the arc of the moral universe is long, 
but it bends toward justice.

How long? Not long, because 
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; 
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; 
He has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; 
His truth is marching on. 
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; 
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat. 
O, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant my feet! 
Our God is marching on. 
Glory, hallelujah! Glory, hallelujah! 
Glory, hallelujah! Glory, hallelujah! 
His truth is marching on."
