Still Dreaming: In Memoriam

Forty years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, marking one of the darkest days in American history. I hope that you can take time out of your day to read or watch his “I Have a Dream” speech, and think about Dr. King’s challenge to the country to better itself. And check out this Washington Post article about his complicated legacy.

"Here was this man whose life was committed to bridging races," Alderman said, "and in death his commemoration is largely segregated."


Food for thought.
