Climate Hawk’s Companion - Inspiration from Martin Luther King

While we may view our task in fighting climate change as daunting, Martin Luther King faced challenges even more difficult than ours. He was arrested for civil disobedience in Alabama. In response, he wrote the Letter from a Birmingham Jail, which is a document we can still learn from today.  Later he received a Nobel Prize.  His comments on the moral arc of universe are in A Testament of Hope. We should take inspiration from Dr. King’s words and actions in our own struggle against climate change. Many thanks to Greg Greenway for permission to use his music. See him in concert with Brother Sun sometime soon. Thanks as well to Tony Berg and Pamela McIntyre for their reading of Dr. King’s words.
