Better late than never…
Hello hello,
Welcome to 2024. That feels like a fake year – one we are still thinking about entertaining in the future.
As we approach MLK day, I listened to a very interesting podcast episode about the bending of the MLK message to fit any agenda.
It’s so interesting to think about movements that pick and chose pieces of a message for their own benefit. Don’t get me wrong- we all do it. We find the parts that fit and conveniently italic, bold, and underline them while keeping the overall intent of the message obscured. To think that the Tea Party co-opted MLK’s message as their own is eye opening.
More to come!!
Talk soon,
Jessica
