GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â Bishop David J. Walkowiak of the Grand Rapids Diocese issued a statement Monday about Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
He emphasized the importance of standing up to and speaking out against injustice, hatred and violence directed at anyone.
âActs and attitudes of racism are sinful,â Walkowiak said. âThey reveal a failure, a failure to acknowledge the value and dignity of the persons who are subjected to this evil; failure to see in each one of them the brother or sister that Christ calls us to love.â

TODAY (1/18) is MLK DAY, the annual observance of REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING s birthday. A day to remember his contributions that changed the thinking of our nation and the world.
DR. KING made a difference through self-sacrifice and unconditional love for others. What he believed in goes to the essence of every human being freedom and equal rights.
The issues DR. KING fought against are still with us; abuse of power, health care discrepancies, domestic terrorism, sexism, hate groups, import and export issues, wage inequality, unemployment, rising mortgage costs, and the color of a person’s skin or nationality is still a problem for many.
