Martin Luther King Jr. Day

This morning after I woke up and started my chores, I remembered that we have a decent stereo system in the living room. What to listen to on MLK Jr. Day while doing chores? Yes, that's right, old U2.


Much of what we do every day is remember things we already know. My thesis explores the notion of the ghost as a function of remembrance, more specifically the ethics of remembering. Today some ghosts from 1984 helped me remember the courage of a man who stood for what he believed to be right. In doing so he changed the way generations would view their brothers and sisters. Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

I made carmels and delivered them to friends for MLK Day. I've decided to make it a tradition as it was a big hit. Random but it worked for me.
