"Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them."
Martin Luther King, Jr., speech, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction...."
Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.
"Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted."

I have spent my lifetime fighting for losing causes that glacially become 'common wisdom.' It has been a path of hurts, set-backs, and even assassinations: John, Bobby, Martin & so many others.
"It's been a long time coming-" but a change has come. . . and it's only the beginning.

There is some significance that the Bush countdown clock has hit "0" this morning.
"I have a dream..."I'll never forget that speech! I remember the day that he was killed and how devastated we all were. He was a great man and I wish that Barrack Obama follow his footsteps!!
Thank you for the reminder (I tend to forget about US holidays here) and also CONGRATULATIONS on the book! It looks like a wonderful read... I'll have to pick it up next time I'm in the States.
You can also buy Cloudia's book on Amazon.com.
I am Korean and I am married to a haole (Caucasian). But I have never experienced racial discrimination here or elsewhere. Who knows why I've been so fortunate?
His dream came true.
