As we begin Black History Month, the shortest of all months, I ruefully think of all the times we'll see the One Truncated MLK Quote, divorced of context.

Interesting that (NGTV? NGC? whatevs) is doing that. That said, the two Black figures I wish would get more attention are Dee Farmer and Charles Hamilton Houston.

I'm going to have to check the series history to see if there's one about him.

Nickel Boys is incredible. I’ll have to check out the other one.
Nickel Boys was a heartbreaking. Mumbo Jumbo goes on the TBR shelf
