racism, MLK Day etc
Today as it’s topical, I am thinking about MLK in the context of how he and his protests *didn’t* resolve everything. An exceptionally smart charismatic guy backed up by people being exceptionally brave, in front of a media willing to give them air time as part of a steady increase in public consciousness since the 40s (unlike what I was told as a kid) only resolved *some* of this country’s problems with systemic racism, that’s how bad it was and is.
