So today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. He was a pivotal advocate for African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. King experienced racism from an early age, and those events stayed with him and eventually led him to dedicate his life to bring about change. I remember the days when signs directed “colored” to drink from separate water fountains and blacks had to ride in the back of the bus with whites riding in the front. They were barred from playing professional sports, meaningful careers, restaurants, and white churches, and we were totally segregated. Their schools were inferior to white schools, and I did not ever attend a school with black kids . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/01/mountain-of-despair-stone-of-hope/
