Rep. Jeffries speech was inspiring

The Day’s choices for the opinion page on MLK Day were all outstanding. Somehow I missed Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries “alphabet speech.” Thank you for printing Jennifer Rubin’s recounting of the speech in an excellent column. It was inspiring, creative, and true and worth repeating in hopes of the wider audience it deserves.
