Oakland, still waiting for a verdict. Where r´ u´ Los Angeles?

If you are interested in what i call the waiting time after police brutality in Oakland last year, take a look at this article in the San Francisco Chronicle. It would helps you to understand what is this issue all about. This photo is spread all over the city. Even in Berkeley University, where i took it the other day.

And here is the article.

And here we are, still waiting. We hope (everybody here in Berkeley does) there will be a peaceful reaction to the final verdict from the jury in LA. But who knows my friend??????? Justice, what a lovely word and what difficult to get it.

PD. Perhaps to serious today????? Could be, but it is worst for the family, don´t you think so guys?

AMERICAN DREAM

 

Martin Luther King in his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" (1963) rooted the civil rights movement in the black quest for the American dream:

"We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands. . . . when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were in reality standing up for what is best in the American dream and for the most sacred values in our Judeo-Christian heritage, thereby bringing our nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers in their formulation of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence."
