Had a conversation with my kids about the significance of today and MLK Jr. My son said that he fought to stop segregation and my daughter told me one of her teachers Mom wouldn’t drink from a fountain that black people drank from. I told her that although we did elect the first black President, people still feel that way (because they were raised and taught that way) and we have a long way to go. And that we might even, one day, elect the first woman President. To which my daughter replies: It’s about time!

Have a good day everyone…
