What an eventful MLK weekend! After seeing Bill Cosby on Saturday and the symphony on Sunday, we went to TSU and Vanderbilt University on Monday, all destinations reached by bus. That was our challenge and goal: to attend the functions planned, to be taught and inspired, and to get there on the bus. Mission accomplished! At TSU we heard the legendary jazz artist Kirk Wallum use words and music to remind us to dream and of the importance of acting on our own and Dr. King's dream. He spoke of his own family legacy and helped us reflect on the value of knowing the past to be able to direct the future. Later at Vanderbilt, we listened while civil rights activist and educator Julian Bond shared his experiences and life lessons. The message I carried away was that no matter what has been accomplished, there is always more to do. Keep striving, keep trying to improve. On the way home on the bus, we had time to reflect on the weekend's activities, busy but well worth it.
