What would MLK think of Honolulu’s Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s Persecution of the Poor and Civil & Free Speech Rights today?
The houseless people continue to be harassed and penalized.
Citizens who push back are exposed to the Mayor’s strong arm tactics of raiding free speech signs and bullying in the courts, courtesy of the city’s scarce fiscal resources.
Is Honolulu any better than the Montgomery, Alabama of 1955 where those in office abused their power and bulldozed over civil rights because they could?
The physical segregation of race may appear to be over . But the segregation of social classes – the rich & powerful versus the poor & the unconnected – remains very problematic.
Many are involved in the fight for justice and equality in Hawaii.
As MLK said,
” Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
A just cause needs many helping hands and willing hearts!
Every one is needed.
