Gregory's ServerThe Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr should be celebrating his 94th birthday today… exactly 1 week after my grandmother celebrated hers.
What Dr King fought for, what he worked to build, isn't just history in books. It is living memory, in people like my grandparents and my parents.
Never forget that.
Hello all. On this commemoration of what would be the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 94th birthday (again: just one week after my own grandma's 94th birthday party!), here's one of the most impactful and important, but still most under-read writings of his whole life:
"Letter From A Birmingham Jail"

Also available in his own voice:

And it's ALSO a great time to remember some of the friendships that made his life what it was.
Have a reflective and restorative day.
