In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King published a book called “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?”
In his book, King discussed the question of what African Americans should do with their new freedoms found in laws such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
I find myself asking this same question today; while my Republican colleagues were victorious in overturning the governor’s “Safer at Home” order they have yet to provide a plan of action to safely reopen our state.
But this is a page out of the federal Republican playbook—aborting policies that clearly work for the common good and have no alternative.
We must answer the question, “Where do we go from here: chaos or community”—I choose community, because I know no one wins when chaos ensues.
