Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day. I hope you’ve got the day off work. Here are four things you can do to honor the memory of MLK Jr.
- The Brooklyn Reader has compiled a list of little known facts about MLK. Find out about his legacy…
- I was recommended to read “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. I did last night, it takes about 25 minutes and was worth every minute.
- Check out this list of movies to watch today courtesy of the New York Times.
- Listen to James Taylor’s “Shed a Little Light” (one of my favorite JT tracks).
