"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
-The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
How appropriate it is that we honor the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. the day before President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration as the first black president of the United States.
As wonderful as the milestone is, it is sad that it has taken us this long to reach this particular goal. Although we have a long ways to go to eradicate racial prejudice from this country, we have taken a very big step in that direction.
Somewhere, somehow, Dr. King is looking down upon us with a smile and a nod of understanding.
