There are three main things that tend to populate my head when we hit the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.

One, is reminisces of when I lived in the Atlanta area and took my now-adult children to Ebenezer Baptist Church and The King Center so they could see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears about the legacy where it was really hatched. As a dad, it was a moving experience. As a human being, it was entirely profound. When in Atlanta, do make time for a visit. You’ll be glad you did. His spirit is alive and well there and the tomb of Dr. King and Coretta Scott King are both there on the grounds. To say the experience is moving and profound is actually quite an understatement. We weren’t there on a day when a service was happening in the newer Ebenezer building where Senator Raphael Warnock presides (which I loveand didn’t realize until last year), but we prayed and learned in the original facility across the street, which is where MLK actually did his preaching.

The second? I think of my friend Tavis Smiley and his excellent book, Death of a King,........
