On Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2021 we are reminded of the prevailing racial disparities that persist over a half-century since his death. The combined impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, racial justice protests, and toxic political climate should serve as a reminder to all Americans that major progress remains on the social, racial, health, and economic justice front.
This is wonderful, Michael. Also, if you’re ever in the Atlanta airport, there’s display of MLK’s suit and personal effects. What I remember most is a pocket-sized book about Ghandi. King had underlined passages in pencil, and written notes to himself in the margins. It was one of the most powerful things I’ve ever seen. As revered as he was, he never stopped being a student of his craft.
