Excerpt from "Peacemaking Beyond Powerless Morality:
No Peace until All the Children are Well"
The hard fact is that peacemaking it not about making nice. Peacemaking is rooted in equitable power distribution. It requires putting things in place that will establish long-term peace, justice, and security in hopes of avoiding future conflict. Seeking peace without addressing the imbalance of power is not just. Justice is rooted in love and power. As Dr. King warned us, “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” MLKDAY #mlkday2020 #MartinLutherKing #peace #love #justice #MLK #BALTIMORE #insta #instapic #instagood #picoftheday #strength #Baltimore #MLKDAY #MLKDAY2020 #community #power #MartinLutherKingJrDay #MartinLutherKing #MLKJRDAY #MLKJR #CLLCTIVLY #MLK2BAKER #mlk91 #mlkweekend
