As often happens, Martin Luther King Jr. was jailed
and eventually killed, for telling the truth. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees,
you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets
and decorate the graves of the righteous.
And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors,
we would not have taken part with them
in shedding the blood of the prophets.
Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!
Jesus speaking in Matthew 23:29-32 - "The Woe Passages"
