Meant to say something pithy about MLK Day. One of the few things left at the University of Michigan that bears my mark is the MLK Day Celebration. One of the best of its kind in North America as far as I know. A few hundred black students (myself included) and a number of progressive white students fought to get Michigan to recognize King's birthday.
I think, given the political context, that this is a pretty decent example of what many non-blacks think about MLK Day. Please copy and forward to friends if you feel so inclined.
