On Monday, January 21, we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr Day, an American federal holiday which marks the birthday of the legendary figure who stood at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. News outlets and social media sites were incandescent with expressions of support for his inspirational words and actions, which condemned hate, racism, and bigotry in the United States.
Since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, many terrible elements of historical American racism have been banished to the dark corners of history. In countless, immeasurable ways, the fight against racism and bigotry has been successful. However, after such wonderful progress, society has allowed itself to slip off-course in the fight to end racism, and meander towards an online form of contemporary bigotry.
