Today, on Martin Luther King Day, I reflect on this 1980s photo I took. Coretta Scott King’s eyes struck me deeply—a reminder of the heroes of the struggle. Today is not a day to give up.

Wildfire smoke is toxic to everyone bc it has small particulates of all the stuff that has burned that get deep in your lungs: super dangerous for young children. I know many people who became asthmatic after the N. California orange and firestorms 7 years ago. Stay inside if you can!

I am so grateful to Jimmy Carter, a great, principled man. In the 90s, I was privileged to work at the Carter Center (on Democratization and Conflict Resolution), an experience that inspired my commitment to making a difference rather than just making a buck. He will be missed.
