Am I hopelessly insular, that the link I found to share on this day is to a post by a white woman, talking about MLK Day? Like her, I recognize my privilege. I also appreciate the way she puts our (more recent than we like to remember) history - that we view this sterilized, would-be heroic series of events almost devoid of humanity ... through a curated prism. What a perfect description.
I will log onto Twitter momentarily, and perhaps will find someone without privilege I recognize as my own, giving voice to something deeper about today. I'll add anything I find there, if I stay on long enough to really listen. Days like this, it can be highly worth doing.
