On Martin Luther King, jr., day, resolve to judge character not skin color.

On this the Martin Luther King, jr,. day, I challenge everyone to hereby resolve to judge people by the content of their character and NOT the color of their skin. This IS the way King's dream will ever have a chance at being fulfilled. So while those in Louisville, Portland and other areas (including Indiana) quibble over whether to name a street, highway or bridge after King, with some opposition taking on racist overtones, resolve yourself to live (and if you already do so, then continue to live) his dream -- in both words and deeds. And remember also all others who fought to FORCE our nation to attempt to live up to its creed: "all men are created equal, and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,..."; men like our 16th President Abraham Lincoln, Presidents John F. Kennedy (and his brother Bobby), Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, U. S. Supreme Court Justices John Marshall Harlan, Thurgood Marshall and Earl Warren, and others too numerous to mention.
