Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. What's your strongest memory or impression of King's contributions?
I will never forget his "I Have a Dream..." speech. I heard it on my car radio as he was giving it. It was such an intense time then. There was a cumulative effect of all the events at that time. We were living in Ohio then, in Yellow Springs at Antioch College. There was an episode over the local barbershop serving a black man. As a child, I recall my parents taking me on a bus trip to Florida to visit Grandmother. My father had to explain to me how it after a certain point I would see black people going to the back of the bus, I would see restrooms and drinking fountains marked Black and White. I couldn't understand it. Martin Luther King was a great man and a great leader. I wish he could see Obama today.
