Historians fear MLK’s legacy being lost
Perhaps not lost, but surely oversimplified and sanitized by many.

...I found myself, throughout the day, realizing that much of the work I was engaged in was about change.
He had a dream and so do I!

Had a talk with my three year old
2 years ago
She wanted to know why she didn’t have school today and what kind of holiday it was. And oh boy, how do you even begin? So my husband and I tried to break it down to what she could understand. We talked about how Dr. King wanted people to treat each other better and how he didn’t believe in fighting and hitting, but in talking when we have a problem. (I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to explain civil disobedience to a preschooler.) And briefly we talked about how children at her school have all different skin colors and how they’re all beautiful. But then I had this tiny little uh-oh feeling, like maybe I shouldn’t even have pointed it out, because maybe she’d never noticed before. I wish I could have been better prepared, but she blindsided me with the question and that’s the best I could do on the spot. Thank you, everyone, for your posts today!
