MLK, Jr Day: service, justice & nonviolence

By David A. Giacalone

It’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and as we did last year, the f/k/a Gang re-commits to a Day of Service in his honor, as well as beginning “40 Days of Nonviolence: Building the Beloved Community.” Other f/k/a MLK Day themes that deserve a repise:

• “injustice anywhere” is indeed a threat to justice everywhere. See Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail

• it takes “a dream plus courage” - slacktivists need not apply

• all of us who are responsible for the operation of our legal and judicial system (that’s every American, but especially the legal profession) can use the pro-se/self-help-law movement to help ensure that wealth is no longer the key to the courthouse and that our justice system fairly serves every American.
