What Martin Luther King did for us

<p>My father had left my two sisters, mother and myself on our own. It was 1980 and Ronald Reagan would soon take office as the President of The United States. We had just come back to The U.S. from Israel, where we had lived on a Kibbutz (Commune) for nearly 3 years. After a brief stay with my grandparents, mother found a job to barely help us scrape by, but she was and is a headstrong powerhouse of a human, so we moved off on our own despite the grumblings of grandma and grandpa.</p> <p>Mom had made a vow to never live under the roof of a home she wasn&rsquo;t providing for, ever again. This hurt us in many ways, but made some of us strong over time. Us children were already use to new passport stamps, as we had traveled incessantly since birth and came together from all different birth regions; Hawaii, Guam, Maryland.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@jgarok/what-martin-luther-king-did-for-us-b626806836e6"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
