Today we celebrate the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who changed the world through nonviolent protests. I often wonder what Dr. King would say about the protests of the past year with cities being burned, stores looted, businesses destroyed, culminating with five people losing their lives at the Capitol, including a New Jersey policeman. We could use Dr. King right now.
I once asked if protests really made a difference. Protesting is your right; it's also your risk. Today with this cancel culture we live in, protesting can cause you to lose your job, force your resignation or even get you killed.
