Birmingham Mayor William Bell orders city flags lowered in honor of the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth
The honors are deserved.
I wonder if the Rev. Shuttlesworth might suggest that appropriate ways to honor him are to love (truly love both in actions and in how we structure our lives) one another, to seek justice for all, and to work to build, nurture, and strengthen community among the diverse peoples of our country and the world. The struggle continues.
What will you do? What will I do?
See you along the Trail.
