We've Come A Long Way.

Posted in Community ::: January 19, 2009 1:29 PM

It seems to me that there could not be a better celebration for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day than to be ushering in the swearing in of our nation's first African American President.  I think most would agree.  When Dr. King gave his famous speech, I wonder if even he dreamt of a man of Kenyan descent taking the Presidential oath of office.  No matter your politics, it shows that America is capable of some progress in the racial equality frontier.  That is a darn good thing no matter which lever you pulled in November.  So as Beyonce and Bruce are rocking out on Capitol Hill, take a little solace in the fact that no matter how many other troubles this country has these days, and they are aplenty, our country has evolved.  We may not be walking completely upright yet, but we are getting there.
