Remembering 50 Years of King
This day in Jamaican History: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On June 20th, 1965 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited Jamaica. He delivered the speech/ sermon at the University of the West Indies 1965 valedictory service
“There is neither Jew, nor Greek. There is
neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for we are all one in
Christ.” Galatians 3:28
I
remember as a child growing up on the island of Kingston, Jamaica W.I. I remember the sayings the land of wood and
water. I also remember a land of many cultures, and many races.
I
remember going to church, parties and school with people of all walks of life.
I
remember one hot summer day going on bus number seven to Mona and on the bus I
came face to face with Mrs. King. I can never forget her sweet smile when she
looked at me .I remember his speech concerning the challenges facing our future
spoken at the UWI.
Dear friends, we are
all one through the blood of Jesus. I further believe we need to continue to
reach out in love to each other, listen to each other and reject any form of
racial hate!! We must be one as brothers and sisters or we will perish as a
nation!!!
God Bless the USA!
Love
Eddie
