Marching That Matters
May 18, 2025 • Dr. Delman Coates
The Civil Rights Movement, led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., forever changed America through the power of strategic marching. Whether from Selma to Montgomery or the iconic March on Washington, history shows that when people of conviction march with purpose, transformative change happens. But in today's world, some question whether marching still matters. Is it outdated? Is it effective? The truth is, marching only matters when it’s done with clarity, intention, and faith. Just as God instructed the Israelites to march around the walls of Jericho, we too are called to engage in acts of resistance that bring down barriers and usher in God’s promises.
