As a white college student I had the life changing experience of working with Hosea Williams chapter of SCLC doing voter registration in Savannah. Later that year I excitedly embraced an opportunity to go to Washington D.C. for the march. I heard Dr. King's moving speech. I consider Dr. King the most important American of the twentieth century. I am saddened to consider the meager progress we have made in race relations in our country.

I think he would be very sad if he was aware of the sad state of our country currently, with all the hate displayed by so many of our "so called leaders" in the government today.

And Columbus didn't do anything either...ever! He most assuredly did not "discover" America, that's hogwash. Native Americans were living here happily until he and the other fools from Europe came along.

carlthedad, WOW! The world you see is an outward picture of your inward condition. Let he who has no sin throw the first stone. It is called projection or better, a holier than thou awareness. I do not despise you sir. Blessings and thank you.
