I cried twice in prison. The first was on December 9, 1996 when I learned I’d miss Christmas; the second, on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday in 1998. I wept, listening to the yearly history of the Civil Rights Movement, realizing that while my Black people in this country have struggled against racism, violence, hounds, I’d wasted my life by inflicting senseless violence on another. In one of the most significant honors I’ve received in my life, the family of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. invited me to write the afterword to the first authorized edition of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” I write about the beloved community, and what it means to desire and struggle to be forgiven—and to forgive myself.
