Regarding what the woman above me said, MLK's death can never be healed. But the election of Mr. obama as president made big steps in the right direction. All we can do as a society is keep looking forward.And for the record I'm a registered independent. I voted for Bush twice (I know, big mistake), but I voted for Obama now.

But as I grew, my family saw to it that I was educated to the history of the whole Civil Rights Movement_and the ultimate sacrifice of Dr. King, Medgar Evers, the 4 little girls killed in the Birmingham Church bombing, etc.Even as a child, I felt a deep sense of pain upon learning about all of it.And on this anniversary of Dr. King's death I find that "Time" still has not healed the wound.However, I must also say this:It has not been lost on me that_President Obama would NOT be President today had it not been for the votes of MILLIONS of good and Hard-working reasonable and Intellgent WHITE Americans.I will never forget that!!!
