In Recognition of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday
On this year’s Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday, the nation should not lose sight of ongoing threats to American democracy, which Dr. King struggled to fulfill for all its citizens. We should recognize those who, in the last two years, sought to defend it---the members of the House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack, and especially its Chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson. His wise leadership of the committee has been passed over in most media accounts.
