(Not Just) Another Monday Holiday

Today across the country there are ceremonies and commemorations honoring the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Ours in Norwich at City Hall starts at a quarter past one this afternoon with some speeching, a little preaching (I suspect, having attended this every year for the better part of a decade) as well as singing followed by a march to Evans Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church for warming words on what is historically a typical New England winter's day and then we'll all go home, back to the lives we lead and the people we are.

I hope this year, unlike others before it, across this country, we can seize a moment from whatever we are doing today to celebrate the dream of Dr. King, make it our own and keep it in our hearts. 


And then as quickly and as hard as we can, strive as he did, to change the world. Again.
