Der Martin Luther King-Day ist zugleich „National Day of Service“, der die demokratische Bedeutung gemeinnützigen Engagements betont. Präsident Obama half an dem Tag zum Beispiel in einer Suppenküche aus und nannte ihn „a symbol of how our Democracy works.“ (2/3) #MLKDay #hist4dem #hist4demAktion
Donald Trump lässt lieber sich statt Martin Luther King ehren. Seit über zehn Jahren war am #MLKDay der Eintritt in die Nationalparks frei. 2026 ist das nicht mehr so. Stattdessen steht Trumps Geburtstag auf der Liste der „fee-free days“. Autokratische Allüren statt Würdigung der Demokratie. (1/3)
