Martin Luther King Jr. Day - No School

Once again, I urge everyone to reflect upon this day: Do some community work or simply help out in whatever ways you can. Watch any number of the documentaries that will be airing on MLK (1 PM on the History Channel or anytime from 6 AM to 1 PM on CNN are just a couple). Think about the progress we have made, and where we should progress to as a society in the future. Even watch the Blazer game (7 PM CSN), as they usually do some interesting things with the day. The Blazers website has a cool little video with Coach Nate McMillan and Brandon Roy on the main page that is worthy of being checked out too. Most of all, just pay attention to and learn about what is going on around you. That is really what I want more than anything else for you.

Dr. King was much more than just a single speech, or with a single cause. Agree or disagree with his positions, he certainly sought to change lives for the better. If you feel so inclined, please post any thoughts you may have of the day or the man in the comments below - I would love to hear them!

Enjoy the day off, and continue to send me questions or concerns about the visual metaphor project (or anything else) to either my e-mail address or by posting in the comments. Keep studying hard for finals - it will pay off!

No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream." - Martin Luther King Jr.
