This photo came about for two reasons: 1) today we finally saw the sun in Detroit (!) so reflections were at long last possible, and 2) Dr. King has been very much on my mind as I prepare to deliver several talks on my own personal experiences of using "nonviolent dialogue" with persons who hold different political views from my own.

My husband Ed gave me this large framed print of a Romare Bearden lithograph at least 30 years ago. It is my favorite piece of art in our home. I always need to be reminded of the power even one person can have who dares to stand up for his/her beliefs and meet hatred with love
