Sharing the song “Abraham, Martin and John” in honor of Martin Luther King Day.

Glover Gardens is about food, nature, poetry, travel, stories and photography, but social justice underpins everyone’s ability to enjoy those things—or not. MLK Day is time to remember that.

Without guile, sarcasm, irony, mockery, I-Told-You-So-ism, satire or derision, the message I wish to share today, inauguration day, is this Kingston Trio song.

it’s not enough to “not be racist,” I must be anti-racist and actively involved in highlighting injustice and creating a better world, along the lines of “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem”.

The song A Rainbow for Fred is a lilting and yet pensive instrumental that lingers with you long after the last note fades, much like the legacy of the activist Fred Hampton, who was killed in 1969.
