Why the Week After MLK Still Matters (01.26.26)

In “Why the Week After MLK Still Matters,” I think about what happens after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It’s time to think about what happens when the posts stop, classes resume, and everything goes back to normal. I look at the week after MLK’s assassination in 1968, when the country was forced to feel its grief and respond to it, and I compare that to how we deal with injustice now.
 
This piece is about how outrage has shifted from the streets to our screens, how remembering has become routine, and what it says about us that so little actually stops us anymore. It’s me asking whether we’re really honoring Dr. King, or just moving on and getting by.
