I have a dream that my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On the eve of commemorating the contributions of a great American freedom fighter and philosopher let us take a fresh look at one of the tenets of his dream; “That one day humankind would be freed from the prison of its skin.” Growing up black in a society where the first criteria for determining a person’s value was skin color influenced how I established my own self worth. Over the years, I have been able to escape many of the boundaries that were set by our society but unfortunately, this facet of our barbaric nature remain, and continues to prevent us, as a society, from discovering God’s image and likeness in one another. ***

ABOARD THE INAUGURAL EXPRESS - Tracking Abraham Lincoln’s historic path to Washington, President-elect Barack Obama launched a four-day inaugural celebration Saturday before thousands of chilled but cheering onlookers from Philadelphia to the nation’s capital. He promised to bring the country “a new Declaration of Independence” — free from small thinking, prejudice and bigotry.
Obama invoked a grand heritage of American giants as he appealed “not to our easy instincts but to our better angels,” an echo of Lincoln’s first inaugural address. He took note of the enormous challenges that lie ahead and promised to act with “fierce urgency,” a phrase often used by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
