 “In a real sense, all of life is interrelated. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.   Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  * Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963
