''We still have much to overcome.''

On MLK Day, Joel Connelly in today's P-I does what he does so well: a lesson in local political history. And then he brings it up to date with a dog's eye look at one Seattle neighborhood. The P-I has this list of MLK related events today and later this week. So does the Seattle Times, as well as this special section. Update: "It is 37 years since the legendary civil rights activist was shot. But in Ohio, New Mexico and around the US, the battle for the ability of all Americans to vote, and to have those vote fairly counted, has never been hotter."-from the Columbus (OH) Free Press: "In the Shadow of Dr. King, counting the vote remains a civil rights issue."
