Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He lived according to the basic principles of goodness aligned with his faith. Here is a statement from his letter from the Birmingham jail that should encourage each of us to always seek to stamp out injustice whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
