On Martin Luther King Day, here's a @Flipboard Storyboard from @Newsone@flipboard.com with suggestions for how to make an impact and more, including a story on how we can use MLK's legacy to explain the differences between hope and optimism. "Long-term hope is not about looking on the bright side. It is a mindset that helps people endure challenges, tackle them head-on and keep their eyes on the goal — a virtue that King and other community leaders exemplify," writes Kendra Thomas.

A necessary reminder that Dr. Martin Luther King may have had dreams, but was also fighting a nightmare. One with a very familiar label.

" Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking.
There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions.
Nothing pains some people more than having to think."

"[America] loves him dead because dead men don’t organize. Dead men don’t shut down streets. Dead men don’t boycott, don’t strike, don’t disrupt, and don’t demand redistribution of wealth. Dead men don’t call out Empire and don’t name white supremacy. Dead men don’t link racism to capitalism and militarism in the same damn breath."
A sermon for the ages right here. And most definitely for RIGHT NOW.
