MLKDay

It was a pleasure to work with Dr. King on Vietnam Summer.  Of all the people I have met in my life, he stands head and shoulders above the rest.  This is last year’s article.  It is even more applicable today.

Normally, I would wish you a Happy Martin Luther King Day, but my conscience will not allow it at a time when Donald Trump* and the Republican Party have trashed so much of what he accomplished, and today, Dr. King would grieve.  But he would also…

RESIST!!

  1. Listening to Dr. King now, is as important (if not more) today, as it was back then. 
    Thank you, Dr. King, and let ‘Freedom Ring’ !! 

    Excellent post, and a day to remember, contemplate, ponder/meditate. 
    Thanks, Tom for this worthy post. 

    • This just in: “MM & Lindsey G. have both publicly stated that they will not be impartial in the impeachment trial! Does that mean they committed perjury when they swore to ‘do impartial justice? Or does that come later?” ~Luisa P. ~ 
      2. “At some point, dt will deny he was ever president.” ~ Paul W. ~ 
      3. re: dt – “Chaos is his order(s) from Putin.” ~ Bev H. ~ 
      4. Bill Barr – “This guy has covered up so much ‘sheet’, cat litter is jealous. ~ John F. ~ 
      5. Nune’s aide (Derek Harvey) spoke w/Parnas about Ukraine campaign messages show. Nunes should lose his position on the House Intel Committee. Devin Nune’s Cow would be a better choice.  ~ Bonnie T. ~ 
      6. “TX senator John Cornyn is now claiming that Giuliani is not relevant ‘to the impeachment trial.’ ” ~ F. A. ~  

  2. Sadly, there’s not a lot to say today.  Yes, he would grieve indeed.  One stage of grief is anger, and anger can lead to resistance.  So we all must get there.

  3. Our nation was fortunate to have a man of such stature and intellect.

    One can’t help but wonder “What if …”

  4. What MLK said and did will always need to be remembered and must never be corroded by time. But it is a sad sign of the times that MLK’s words are now more important than ever.

  5. It can’t be a “Happy” MLK Day, with the country’s leading racist in the WH.
    Pat’s #2 is precious.
    With MLK being all about human rights, this is nice:  https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/01/20/global-precedent-set-un-rules-climate-refugees-cannot-be-sent-back-life-threatening

  6. MLK was a remarkable man. Enjoyed watching the video.
    Too bad we have an idiot in the WH who doesn’t respect or practice what MLK spoke. 
    Thanks TomCat

  7. Thanks and harried Hugs to all! 37
