Today is the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, and I came across this really wonderful collection of articles and videos through Slate on The Root.com. Particularly good I thought was the short interview between Profs. Michael Eric Dysen and James Braxton Peterson on April 4th as Easter and an article by Marian Wright Edelman on why we cannot give in to despair. There's also an interview with Vernon Reid that I'm going to read right now, and another article taking a look at the role of gender in the trauma of the loss. I can't embed the videos, unfortunately, but follow this link to the delightfully full page.
