When my anger, frustration, and fear begin to cross over into hate, MLK’s words help bring me back: “I have decided to stick with love. … Hate is too great a burden to bear.” In this collective work of transformational change, love is the force behind so many things. Love is courage to do the right thing even when it’s hard. Love is faith that things can change, and as MLK said, “faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”So YES! And as we deepen our understanding of racial and other systems of oppression, that vision has expanded to include a love that liberates.
