Enough Said


This article is for people who say a lot like I use to but do little.

I want to let you all know that enough has been said.

We log into our Facebook accounts; we tweet on Twitter, and we talk about the tragic issues that are occurring in the world today.

We have conversations to express our feelings and to speak out against injustice, but then we leave it at that.

Voices provide knowledge to others about certain things. but action is what brings upon change.

We can’t just speak about the horrific events regarding Anna Brown, a woman who had life-threatening medical issues who was dragged out of a police car into a jail cell where she died because she refused to leave the hospital until she received medical attention.

We can’t just speak about the shooting death of young Trayvon Martin and expect change.

I’m not saying that we should react in rage.

I am saying that we should simply just react.

Let’s march like the great leaders before us did to bring upon change.

Let’s march like Martin Luther King Jr. when he fought to bring down the beast known as racial discrimination.

Let’s march like Ghandi when he strived to do the same.

It’s time to stop hiding behind our computers, our cell phones and other technological devices.

We need to stand up for a cause with our physical presence.

I don’t care what background people come from, what ethnicity or race an individual is, we should all be able to come together for a greater purpose because enough has been said.

Now it is time to put our words in motion to bring on change.

There is an opportunity for us to seek change March 31st at Noon people will be gathering at Martin Luther King Park to march for Trayvon Martin.

If you believe that enough has been said and now it’s time to do, then come to this event and make a difference.

I want to give a special thanks to Duke Turley for planning this event.

Come see me at the march if you would like to discuss the idea of enough being said.
