Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the 40th anniversary of his death. This year's theme (I don't know who decides such a thing) is "Remember! Celebrate! Act! A Day On, Not a Day Off."
I'm not sure yet what that's going to mean for me; I do like that it encourages activism.
I know a guy who decided in elementary school that he wanted to be an activist when he grew up. He's now in high school and is a volunteer with Greenpeace, the ACLU, and a group promoting gay-straight harmony. I'm impressed.
I've never been much of an activist myself--always one revolution behind, so it has seemed.
I'd love to know anything you're initiating on this MLK Day to change the world to the way you think it ought to be.

Hi Peggy,
I'm sorry to say that I do not have huge plans for MLK Day. I do plan on talking to my daughters about him and reminding them about who he was and what great things he did.
Sounds like a good choice to me.
