“War is bloody, it is vicious, it is evil, and it is messy. War destroys the dreams, the hopes, and aspirations of people…War does not end strife — it sows it. War does not end hatred — it feeds it.”
“Let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide…Let it be said that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war.”
—Rep. John Lewis (2002)
As a nation, if we care for the Beloved Community, we must move our feet, our hands, our hearts, our resources to build and not tear down, to reconcile and not to divide, to love and not to hate.
