power of love

Spent an interesting 90 minutes this morning in discussion about racism, activism (or the lack of), and the book The New Jim Crow written by Michelle Alexander.

I believe there was one comment made in our time when a person talked about the greatest power being found in numbers and money. I believe the greatest power is the power of love.

If blacks and whites are going to join together to fight racism, I believe it will take the power of love. From my experience, anger and guilt are not motivations that will draw people into a cause together nor keep people committed to it. But oh, what can happen through the power of love!
