Happy MLK Day! Today I'll be rereading Letter From a Birmingham Jail. If you haven't read it recently, I recommend you join me. It's a gold mine of insights that are still fresh 60 years later. https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html
Also, I give you my favorite MLK-related reply GIF. I haven't needed it since I quit Twitter, but perhaps you'll find a use for it.

1. Animated GIF of a clip from The Boondocks. Initially shows a TV talk show set with a balding white man in a suit and bow tie saying, "I think if Martin Luther King was alive today he would..." A folding chair flies in from off camera, knocking the man over. A Black 10-year-old, Huey Freeman, runs in from off-stage and behind the white man's upturned lounge chair. You see his arm rising and falling as if he's punching the white man. The screen switches to a rainbow-bar test pattern with the words "PLEASE STAND BY".
