Let Freedom Ring!

To think that 143 years ago, Americans still kept human slaves, and 50 years ago, President Obama's father would not be served in a restaurant in Washington DC, this is a momentous day, indeed.

I Have a Dream

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was a very great man. Even today, I enjoy celebrating Martin Luther King every year, with a cd of his speeches and a documentary film of his life. It's such profound timing, the first black President of the United States, a day after the celebration of the greatest civil rights leader, another black man. I remember when MLK lived, and when he was assassinated. The world still reels under the influence of divisive influences, but I am very optimistic the Obama election represents a wave moving in a healing direction, for all the future generations.
