“Each of you, as an individual, must pick your own goals. Listen to others, but do not become a blind follower.” These are the words of the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, a contemporary of Dr. Martin Luther King (MLK). As we observe MLK Day in 2022, I find Justice Marshall’s words more salient now than they were when he was alive. In 2022, the need for diversity of thought and dialectical thinking will be of cardinal importance as we continue to move towards educational equity.
