Happy Inauguration Day?

In a shocking plot twist Donald J. Trump has won another 4 term presidency.  Only such a plot twist because so much of the country said out loud that they we're not voting that way.  And I do mention 'out loud' because as I'm always encouraging my friends to get out and vote and I would always end by saying, 'It's just like your bedroom.  You're in there privately, do whatever you want!'. I want to be fully transparent when I tell you that I did not vote this time around. At all. All that being said what kind of wild work is it that Inauguration Day falls on Martin Luther King Day?  The relationships between Trump and the Black community have notoriously not been delightful.  The upside of the crazy coincidence of the 2 days coinciding is that some schools are out for the day, so it's a great moment to take in with your kids.  No matter your political affiliation, Inauguration Day is still a day in history.  And there is tons of music!  The Village People, Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Lee Greenwood and even randomly Gavin Degraw are all slated to be there.   The fashion is off the charts too.  Nike Dior sneakers, Dolce & Gabana and Chanel garments all made their way to the 2021 Joe Biden swearing in.  January 20th is always Inauguration but MLK day is not always Jan 20., but rather the 3rd Monday on January.  This year, it just happens to happen all at once.  MLK Day is a day to reflect on Dr. King's contributions and the impact he had on the country. It's also a day to educate people about racial injustice and encourage them to get involved in service projects.  It is a day to remember Dr. King's advocacy for racial equality, nonviolent resistance, and the betterment of all people.  The first official MLK Day was celebrated on Monday, January 20, 1986 and by 2000 all 50 states finally officially observed. So where's the party?  This party happens wherever you want!  MLK's day of service turns 30 this year and I encourage you to do 30 minutes of good deed work on Monday and I promise, I'll try to do the same too!
