From MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail:
"Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds."
Read the whole thing, if you haven't lately.

2011 will be a good year...
...because (among other things) there's not zero, not one, but two Jamaican-born philosophers in the Chicago area teaching seminars on John Rawls's political philosophy. Three cheers for Jason Hill (DePaul), Charles Mills (Northwestern), and the careful criticism of ideal theory!
