Today is celebrated as Martin Luther King, Jr., Day in the United States and is a national holiday.
Non-government businesses don’t always observe this (and other) national holidays. However, in PG’s experience, the publishing business does. Thus, there’s a bit less grist for the TPV mill than usual today.
However, Dr. King was a marvelously fluent speaker, so reading a quote from him is almost always (for PG), an edifying experience.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think Dr. King’s message is being drowned out in today’s America.

Agree. Many think color of skin is more important than character.
Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, changed my life. I am better for the change.
Dr. King’s assassination is one of my earliest memories. I couldn’t understand why anyone would kill a minister, and I was terrified that something would happen to my favorite uncle who was a seminary student at the time. *smh* The connections a three-year-old’s brain makes…
