Dolly Parton did pick sides…her actions spoke her soul.

Dolly Parton was not silent…

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dolly Parton was not neutral…

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe.” Elie Wiesel

Dolly spoke through action…

“I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.” James Baldwin
