Yonge & Dundas

Say the word and you’ll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I’m thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It’s so fine, it’s sunshine
It’s the word, love. — Lennon/McCartney

In today’s tension of fear: climate change, terrorism, etc. It’s good to remember muslims have been in the vanguard  of the struggle against racism. The struggle is real and complicated. “You gentlemen have been a fixture here, Yonge St. & Dundas St. and Avenue Rd. & Bloor St.,  for as long as I can remember”, I said. “Today I’m doing this”, said Sadiki Akil. He continued, “If we as a people don’t have love for one another, then we as black people can’t come together”… There’s a lesson in there for everyone. 🙂
