Today commemorates the 45th
anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination in Memphis, Tennessee by
James Earl Ray. It is amazing how much
racial progress has been made since 1968.
America has a black president, school desegregation, you can shop, live,
eat and play anywhere you want.
It is also Dr. Maya Angelou’s 85th
birthday. She is a national treasure for
her civil rights advocacy and poetry. Her grace and perseverance in the midst
of overt segregation is honorable. She has survived and thrived and if I get to
be 85, I would want to accomplish the same level of success.
