Sick and Tired of Commemorations

I've got a great deal of appreciation for the work of people like Amzie Moore. Like Fannie Lou Hamer. Like Ella Baker. Like Medgar Evers. Like John Lewis. And yes...like the mainstays.

But I am soooo sick and tired of commemorations. Every time I see or hear about one I'm thinking in my head about two groups of folks--people who continually relive their high school days, and alzheimer victims.
