Martin Luther King day should bring joy, wonder and thanksgiving to our hearts.
But our current president (God help us!) is doing all he can to reduce both the appreciation and presence of people of color.
He wants museums to take out relics that recount events of racial awareness.
He wants to deport as many folks of Latin-American decent as possible--greatly hurting farmers and industries.
In southern West Virginia, my senior year of high school, 6 black students (3 male athletes and 3 seriously smart girls) joined my class. Up until then I'd never gone to school with people of color. The next year white and black schools were united.
That was 1965. Lots got better since then in racial matters, but some things have recently gotten worse.
Celebrate the life of Dr. King.
And pray God to bring true equality to our nation--True Equality....
