It is MLK Day. Remember why we honor him.

On MLK day, my feeling is, as Ibram X Kendi well stated, one is either an anti-racist or a racist.

Some will say that is too simplistic, too reductionistic, but if we do not fight against racism, our passivity is seen as support for the racists.

So, we must be loud, and loudly anti-racist, so the racists do not take our silence as complicity.

There are many online and physical events today. Please, attend in person or online.
