Today is a Federal Holiday, despite the fact that some states still don’t officially observe it.
Anyone who has ever seen or heard a recording of Doctor King’s “I Have A Dream” speech had to have been moved.
Doctor King’s work is still unfinished.
Within the SF community, more outreach still needs to be done. You can do a little bit of your own outreach by engaging with these websites:
The Black Science Fiction Society (Facebook page)
By reading nny number of authors – Octavia Butler, N. K. Jemisin, Samuel R Delany, Steven Barnes, Nalo Hopkinson, Nnedi Okorafor, Tananarive Due, Andrea Hairston, Geoffrey Thorne, Nisi Shawl, and Carl Hancock Rux
and don’t forget the Carl Brandon Society.
