Yesterday was a day to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the individuals that worked beside him to try to abolish racial discrimination in areas including public transportation, employment, voting, and education. For many Black people in the US, regardless the origin of the diaspora, MLK day is about reflection, research, and a celebration of all civil rights leaders. I came across an article 9 Lessons from Journals of Martin Luther King Jr. on Journalinghabit.com (read Reflect on life events — both negative and positive) and it made me think of how powerful silence can be.
