And a day off work - with pay - if you work for the government, or a bank or something.
Life/opinions have changed dramatically since I was a little girl growing up in Newark, NJ. It takes courage to step up and step out, to stand up, to be heard, to whisper, to shout.
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular — but one must take it because it’s right.
Martin Luther King Jr.
In my opinion all gave more than MLK.
And yet, it may be more than only opinion to counter that somewhere near half of these may not have had the opportunity, the stage, nor the inspiration, to do and give "more than MLK", were it not for MLK.
As for those who came before MLK, it could also be pointed out that Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, & John Hancock "gave more" than Hamilton, but were it not for Hamilton, that which they had sacrificed to pioneer very well may not have endured.
That, is why we honor Doctor King.
