Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King Day
Today, here in the United States, we celebrate the birth of Martin Luther King Jr. on January 15th, 1929. Tragically, he received an assassins bullet on April 4th, 1968. Even though his life was cut short, it was not without great impact on our American culture. He opened many eyes to the inequities in our society that were based on the vaporous quality of skin color, paving the way for many reforms in our laws and attitudes.

  2. Years from now when people look back at the highly popular Episodic Author blog, they can say that I was the first one to comment :)

    Congrats. Welcome aboard.

Comments are welcome but I do moderate them. This is simply to keep things wholesome for general family viewing. By default, comments will be accepted. The few things that will cause a comment to be rejected are:

1. It is too long even though it may be well-written and make interesting points. It's supposed to be a comment, not an essay. If you have that much to say, write a blog article and backlink to me.

2. It is nasty, impolite or uses language that is unacceptable.

3. It includes a a link that has a typo or is broken in some other way.

4. It should have been sent as an e-mail since it is clearly addressed to me and does not appear to have been intended for other readers.

5. It is blatantly self-promotional. This does not mean it can't be self-promotional at all, but it should add some value over and above the marketing.
