Ada got hit with the flu over the weekend (complete with a fever or 104.2 and an extremely expensive prescription for Tamiflu), so our MLK days plans for our family to attend a march in Lexington with some friends turned into just me and the boys marching.
I have never been to an organized march like this before and I enjoyed it. It was encouraging to see such a large group of diverse people coming together to make a statement about equality and to honor the life of someone who fought so hard for civil rights. I feel this even more deeply as the mother of a Black child and I am incredibly grateful for those who have gone before us in this fight for equality.
The boys don't look too happy about equality and civil rights, but they are. |
See? So happy! |
