1. The 57th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, given thereat.
2. The 103rd anniversary of the birth in New York City of Jacob Kurtzberg, best known today as Jack "King" Kirby, comic book artist of legend, co-creator of Captain America, and of so many more afterwards.
Both, I think, are worthy of remembrance in their own ways. Both Dr. King and Mr. Kirby were, in their respective ways, anti-fascist to their respective cores.
