Some of my best times after being "of age" were with a black man, who I recently buried at 44yo due to massive stroke and aneurysm (totally not related to vax of course), hanging at a neighborhood ball field while drinking St Ides Special Brews and Mad Dogs. We both learned from each other.
I remember only a few years ago posting that MLK was a Republican and I was mercilessly attacked for my viewpoint.
Visit the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis (where MLK was killed and also a symbolic location because of the Cross of Lorraine...Jesuit cross..."Windsor Hotel") and read the plaque outside of the location and the important quote upon it. Not the historical marker but the actual plaque)
