Happy MLK Day!

Happy MLK Day. Here’s a classic SNL skit containing some law-in-life implications as we consider the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. As a Black man in America whose parents lived through the Civil Rights era, I have often felt the weight of the law on MLK Day wondering if I’m doing enough to honor King’s legacy. Am I truly using that time off work to meaningfully reflect on his sacrifice? Thankfully, there’s a sacrifice that actually justifies us “apart from the works of the law”! I think the good Reverend would want us to rest in that good news above everything else. Anyways, I found some relief in this clip…especially the ‘punchline’. Enjoy…and know that you are forgiven if you just take the day off to relax, play some air hockey, or get drunk and go to Atlantic City…
