Happy Martin Luther King Day

You can’t make this stuff up. A store that sells Ku KLux Klan robes, Confederate flags and assorted other racist paraphernalia is owned by…a Black church!

It’s a complicated story and almost too hard to believe but I think it’s the perfect message for Martin Luther King Day.

Can’t we all just get along?
