Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote from a Birmingham jail cell:

“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

His message is clear: we are not outsiders to each other’s struggles. Our futures are connected, and justice is a shared responsibility. This MLK Day, let’s not just remember his words, let’s live them. May we choose compassion, courage, and action for each other.
