Remember When Middle School Was About Geometry and History?
Recently we remembered one of our nation’s most transformative leaders and victims of gun violence. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired our nation. He inspired not through platitudes or hollow promises. On the contrary, Dr. King fully and openly laid bare dark and painful realities of our society at the time. But in the face of great challenge, Dr. King spoke of a refusal to “believe that the bank of justice is Bankrupt . . . [a refusal] to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity in this nation.”
