MLK Day To Me

Dr. Mike Sevilla

As an Asian-American man, I do not pretend to know what it’s like to be a Black man today. And, I do not pretend to know what it was like to be Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr in the 1950s and 1960s.

I’ve been looking at the forecast over the past couple of days, and some people are saying that for around here, we may expect 12 inches of snow or more. Monday is a holiday for a lot of people out there (not me). But, when snow is forecast like this, it really makes me think back to “back in the day” when I was hoping, as a little kid, for that snow day.
