A Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr Day recommended reading.

As today is not only a federal holiday, it is also a rainy and windy day in Quincy.

As such, Quincy Quarry News recommends that its readers block some time today read Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail and which he drafted on what paper he could scrouge while he was incarcerated.

And when one does read this letter, ponder how bad things for people of color were when it is was written in 1963, how far we have come as well as how far yet we need to travel.
