Excerpt from Book
One snowy day, when I was at school, we learned of Martin Luther King. We heard him speak a courageous dream with the power to change everything. Some say Pastor King's dream was color-blind, ignoring our eyes, hair, and skin, and looking only at what's inside, the content of character within. But at church, we learned his dream was bigger, that Jesus can set us all free to be not color-blind but color-brave, a beloved community. You see, Pastor King believed in God, a God made completely of love, who's writing a story more colorful than anything we could think of.
