I hope you had a meaningful MLK Day holiday weekend. Georgetown’s celebration of his legacy at its annual Kennedy Center event is a most fitting tribute.
In thinking about Martin Luther King Jr.’s contributions to our society, I find that there are so many lessons, and so much that is worthy of emulation. Lost in my well-deserved respect for Dr. King’s leadership, courage and moral clarity is the fact that he was an extraordinary observer — he understood his world, its problems, its challenges and its opportunities. He was eerily prescient; listen to clips of his interviews, and he described so much of the world we find ourselves living in today. So much has changed, there has been so much progress, but there is so much more left to do.
We can honor him by working to achieve his dream — and make it ours too.
I’ll be away next weekend, so my blog will resume in two weeks.
Stay safe and be well.
Lou
