Today, I think not only of MLK, but if John Lewis & Elijah Cummings. Not being a person of color, I can’t even fathom the hate they endured, but they never gave up. And then on January 6, we saw how that kind of hate can destroy our Democracy. As MLK said, the darkness only brings more darkness. We need to find the light, & move forward as a peaceful, loving country.

Beautiful words Carrie. I wish Dr. King was alive today to speak his wisdom to those of us who so desperately need to hear it.

Well said... I think a wise person would realize that the attack of Covid and the restrictions it put on our daily norms ... can be seen as similar to the unwanted and undeserved restrictions people of color faced for decades. The lack of ability to move freely and control your life is nothing new to generations of American blacks.
