I wasn’t sure I wanted to start this year off writing about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For one thing, I’m white. For another, it might come off as virtue-signaling. For a third, surely others will have done it, and probably better.

But I looked at my two Medium feeds, and … nothing. Not about Dr. King, anyway.
