This is a fine couple of days to reflect on the transformation that has happened in my own lifetime from “Whites Only” signs to a black president.  Today we praise the contribution of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the transformation that today makes old pictures of those signs seem as if they belonged to an alien civilization.  Tomorrow we inaugurate a man who was judged by his fellow citizens on the content of his character.
