For those concerned about the current civil unrest taking place across America whether it manifests itself as athletes kneeling during our National Anthem or Black Lives Matter protests against unprovoked police shootings of unarmed black men, or our Native American Indians demonstrating to protect their sacred tribal ancestral land and water against greedy corporate encroachment in violation of Treaties guaranteeing their sovereignty as Nations.
It might do us all well to pause and reflect on the wisdom of someone who knew something about the power of nonviolent civil disobedience, the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who said : ” Peace is not the absence of tension. It’s the presence of justice.”
