Martin Luther King Jr. Day didn’t start as a feel-good holiday. It started as an argument—loud, emotional, and deeply political—about what the country owes to the people who pushed it to change.

That’s why a quiet street can feel completely different depending on what’s happening in the world around it. One kind of quiet feels open and relaxed, like a pause between conversations.

On January 19, 1915, the world saw the first large-scale aerial bombing raid on Britain when German Zeppelin airships attacked towns on England’s east coast. Air raids were not entirely new, but this moment showed how quickly war was expanding beyond battlefields and into everyday civilian life.
