Dear Seekers of Justice,

Doing the right thing is not always the easy thing. Sometimes doing the right thing can make you feel uncomfortable or threaten your safety. When Harriet Tubman led her people to freedom, she risked capture by patrollers and severe punishment. The many thousand slaves who risked passage on the Underground Railroad could have been forced back into the cruelties of slavery or worse. When Martin Luther King Jr. marched for an end to Jim Crow laws in the South, he ended up in a Birmingham jail cell.

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”–Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
