cpsylist: MLK Day

[Ellen H McWhirter]

Dear CPSY community,

On this 2017 MLK Day, I wish for all of us courage, strength, wisdom, and compassion, and that we apply our resources and capabilities to the challenges ahead with creativity and persistence.
Below are links to the transcript of Dr. King’s address to the American Psychological Association, sent by APA President Dr. Antonio Puente.  The closing of the speech is pasted here, I encourage you all to read the full text:
September 1st, 1967
“Thus, it may well be that our world is in dire need of a new organization, The International Association for the Advancement of Creative Maladjustment. Men and women should be as maladjusted as the prophet Amos, who in the midst of the injustices of his day, could cry out in words that echo across the centuries, 'Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream'; or as maladjusted as Abraham Lincoln, who in the midst of his vacillations finally came to see that this nation could not survive half slave and half free; or as maladjusted as Thomas Jefferson, who in the midst of an age amazingly adjusted to slavery, could scratch across the pages of history, words lifted to cosmic proportions, 'We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. And that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' And through such creative maladjustment, we may be able to emerge from the bleak and desolate midnight of man's inhumanity to man, into the bright and glittering daybreak of freedom and justice.
I have not lost hope. I must confess that these have been very difficult days for me personally. And these have been difficult days for every civil rights leader, for every lover of justice and peace.”
MLK Jr.
In hope of continued maladjustment,

Ellen
