MLK

40 years ago today the civil rights leader was tragically murdered in Memphis. Some questions:
  1. Has our nation made strides toward their being "neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free" or has racism gone completely rampant the other way?

  2. Would Dr. King spend time hanging with Reverend Wright or with Bill Cosby?

  3. Where have the pleas gone across cultures for responsible citizenship? Where are the cries for familial responsibility?

Frankly, the racism I have noted in the past few weeks, in the news and on the bus, troubles me. The division widens...of our own choosing.
