Heather Cox-Richardson writes about heroes and shares the words of Martin Luther King Jr. from Selma. Dr. King told the audience that if God had let him choose any era in which to live, he would have chosen the one in which he had landed. “Now, that’s a strange statement to make,” King went on, “because the world is all messed up.
