What would MLK Jr. do? What, now, will we do?

By The Herald Editorial Board

There may not be a more fitting example of the nation’s current political and societal divisions than in how Americans will choose to spend their time on Monday.

Some will celebrate the second presidential inauguration of Donald Trump, either from the comfort of their homes or in Washington, D.C., where forecasts of temperatures in the low-20s and high winds have moved ceremonies indoors.

Others, will mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day at rallies, marches and with a day of volunteer service to honor the slain civil rights leader on the 42nd anniversary of the federal holiday, and the 56 years since his assassination.

You can ask yourself where you stand on that spectrum. At risk of speculation, we can also ask: What would Martin do?
