happy martin luther king day!

and what a happy mlk day it is!

yes,  many of king's hopes for america remain unfulfilled, but the primary aspiration of his famous great dream is realized, once again. for the second time, americans have judged our top man by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin.  america's 400 year national curse is lifting. thank god i'm alive to see it.

this tells the story of dr. king and many others who made that possible- both breathtaking adventure story and scholarly footnoted history, one of the best books i've ever read.
