As Dr. King Said

· By JeffsPuzzles · Published 2025-01-20T13:18:11.367Z

Constructor's Note
I constructed this puzzle today (1/19) as a simple word ladder. Once I started cluing it, though, I remembered the MLK quote referenced in 1 and 62 Across. Originally I'd intended to post this in late March (I have about a two month supply built up), but I decided to publish it on 1/20 given the cruel concurrence of a holiday honoring Dr. King, who gave his life to raise others up, and the inauguration of a man whose M.O. is tearing others down.
