Happy MLK day. As you read this, more than one self-important elected official with the power to improve the lives of their constituents will refuse to do so. They all have different reasons for this choice. Some of them are worried a Black person might benefit, others are getting paid off by corporations, there are a few who want to protect “the market” at all cost, even if it means some people will suffer, and then there are those who are in leadership, but have no other aspiration than to make themselves look good. Tough votes don’t keep you employed, grandstanding and theatrics do. And what better time to combine both than on a National Holiday celebrating one of the greatest leaders in American History.
