Today we remember the life and sacrifice of Martin Luther King, and the others who participated in the Civil Rights Movement in our country. With the inauguration of the first biracial president, it appears that part of Dr. King's dream has come true.
Unfortunately, this country still has a long way to go in terms of racial, sexual, gender, and religious equality. Most of us still have our prejudices regarding those around us in one form or another.
Perhaps today is a good day to sit back, be honest about our prejudices and evaluate if they are based on fact, fear or ignorance.
Now is the time to confront our prejudices, deal with them, and make ourselves open, honest, caring and sharing people. If the country is to be truly one, it will only happen if we believe all of those around us are entitled to same rights and freedoms as ourselves.
Its Common Sense!
