A special Future Here Now Selection

Hi.

The Future Here Now Selection that I had planned to send to you late last week…. didn’t get sent. User error - hitting the “send” button is generally useful.

I’m going to hold that for another day because it seemed more appropriate to share this short video I took at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day march in Cincinnati this morning. The speaker is Rabbi Gary Zola, who is the Executive Director of the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives at Hebrew Union College, and a longtime member of the leadership of the Cincinnati Martin Luther King Jr. coalition.

In this clip, Rabbi Zola is quoting from King’s last speech. I think we’ve all heard the “I have been to the mountaintop” part of that speech, but this part was new to me — and stopped me in my tracks.

In a messed up world, it is a privilege - and a blessing - to be able to be part of making it better.
