Today is a day to celebrate a great man: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. No one spoke about the relevance of our founding ideals more eloquently than Dr. King. He called to account to live up to those ideals. Dr. King called on us to be the very best possible Americans.
We are not there yet but we must never stop trying.
Ann Telnaes created this editorial cartoon for the Washington Post in 2018. She resigned from the Post a few weeks ago after one of her cartoons was spiked. It showed the billionaires bringing bags of cash to Trump. One of them was Jeff Bezos, owner of the newspaper. We now know that it is not a good idea to criticize the guy who owns your newspaper. I described to Ann’s blog to express my support for her courage and integrity.
This day should have been a day of celebration. A day to celebrate our democratic way of life. But, instead it is a day that this nation must hang our collective heads in shame for what is happening today and what undoubtedly happened over the next four years. A day that will go down infamy.
Reverend Martin Luther King had a dream. I am afraid that dream is about to go up in smoke.
