Monday was a day of remembrance of Martin Luther King, instead, Dr. King’s 81 birthday is over shadowed by the tragedy in Haiti. There are the usual community celebrations; somehow the feeling is not here.

To our younger generations do they really understand the importance of remembrance the struggle of the civil right movement? Or is it more importantly to watch the Jet’s winning the division title, or the Golden Global award. May be just another national holiday for us to kick back relax and more reason to have a drink.

I wondered.
