Dr. Martin Luther King Would Have Been Encouraged

Watching Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards debate on the evening of a holiday dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, I couldn't help believing that the civil-rights crusader and promoter of equality would have been wonderfully encouraged by the sight of a black man and a woman, standing center stage, as viable and widely accepted candidates for the United States Presidency. Sometimes, it's nice to observe the fulfillment of a dream in one's own midst.
