Nina Simone Would Like To Remind You Why You Have A Three-Day Weekend
Macy's and Best Buy might like to keep you thinking in terms of sales and savings today, but the spirit of Nina Simone would like to remind you:
It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
I know You can take 10 minutes for this
Plug in your headphones, hit "play," and spend a minuscule amount of minutes in your day to keep things in perspective:
On April 7, 1968, three days after the death of the "King of Love," Nina Simone showed up to a sold out concert hall, and sang her beautiful, broken heart out.
She dedicated her performance to King's memory.
So let's remember.
Let's remember a man who made change in the world by preaching love over fear.
Let's honor his memory by continuing his work.
