The prophetic words of Dr. Martin Luther King and two very big lessons learned from 2020: Martin Luther King said: “There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.”
We must admit, these words resonate loudly in the context of the global civil rights uprising and the pandemic of 2020. The collective raising of consciousness that resulted from the brutal publicly aired killing of George...
