Random Memorial for Monday 1/15/18

Gone but not forgotten:  Martin -- of Abraham, Martin and John, as famously sung back in the those *other* tremendously divisive times.

OR maybe that's Martin -- of Christopher, George and Martin, seeing as how they are the only three people for whom national holidays are named in the US.

OR maybe that's Martin -- of Michael, Martin and Colin, as depicted on the latest cover of 'The New Yorker' done by an artist who feels like kneeling at sports events would be exactly what the 89 year old MLK, JR would be doing nowadays -- if he hadn't been cut down by hatred long ago that is.

In a country where the promise of a "post-racial" society turned out to be "fake news" because the nation instead went all MARA (Make America Racist Again) ... you are most surely missed.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE HE'S GONE?:
