Thank you, Dr. King
My grandfather, Joseph C. Larkin was the recipient of a burning cross courtesy of the Ku Klux Klan.
He was a newlywed in search of a better life for his family. He was a new school teacher in search of a job in a depression-racked world.
He sent letters to schools throughout southern Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The only offer he received was from a school in rural Kentucky. After my Grandfather and Grandmother arrived in town, the word got out that they were Catholic.
That evening, a cross went up in flames in the front yard. I asked my Grandfather what he did, and he said that he went out and kicked it down.
His father-in-law insisted that his daughter was returned safely, and my grandfather left the little Kentucky town.
It’s because of Dr. King that we don’t live in that world anymore.
May your spirit forever shine.
