It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day in America. The downtown Dallas garage where I park my car was relatively empty this morning, so I know that many of you are enjoying a day off. But after you’ve slept in, watched The Price is Right, and raised the energy to finally change out that light bulb that’s been burned out above the kitchen sink for the last couple months, take some time to reflect on the legacy of Dr. King and the reasons why we take this collective pause from business-as-usual in the middle of January.
Tonight the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture is hosting an event to help you do just that. Jeffrey Toobin of CNN and the New Yorker and civil right attorney Fred Gray are headlining the Institute’s sixth annual Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium at the Winspear. This year’s event is centered on law and the key role it played in the civil rights movement.
