Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! oh and you too MLK.

Well over 30, but not quite 40 years ago, my folks tied the knot on Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, January 15. And they have the nerve to call ME a militant, but moving right along… Another year and they are still together. Sometimes I can’t see past year eleven and here they are after three decades and some change.
I think that it is really important that Americans in general and African Americans in particular remain mindful of the full legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. He was more than a soundbyte and he fought for way more than desegregation. Although he was a major figure who accomplished great things, it is also important to learn of those who supported King and made a lot of his efforts possible.
Last year, I put the Letter From Birmingham Jail up on my blog. I think that every American ought to read it. I’m working on some things for the blog for Black History Month. I may revert to some biographies, but there are some things that I’m learning and planning on writing that I know will be very good. Only sixteen more days to go. Hee hee.
