Monday is the National celebration of the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr.
When I was a young Marine stationed in the south in the early 1960's, someone burned a cross on our platoon's front lawn. We had more Black Marines in our company than most other and that fact provoked the racist act. When on liberty with Black friends they couldn't join us Whites in diners or use the same public restrooms nor could they drink from the same water coolers. What a change in American society...a black President!
In human affairs things do get better sometimes.
There are no classes Mon, but Wed supercharged Painting morning and afternoon is running.
