To honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I decided to make an offering at my ancestral altar and give thanks to my ancestors, of blood, heart, and place, who have worked to make the world a better place for all of humanity. In particular, I called on the peacemakers who have worked towards equality and love. May their spirit continue to inspire the living.
