This suggestion is really going to open a can of worms. IMHO
I didn't start it to open a can of worms...

And I didn't know that the inaugration date was set in stone when I made my observation.

It would be difficult to imagine a black President had it not been for MLK, Rosa Parks, the incident in Little Rock @ Central School. What would have happened if Rosa had given up her seat? What would have happened if the Orville Faubus had had his way and the young black children were turned away at Central? Where would we be?
I think that MLK is looking down on what is about to transpire and weeping tears of joy. We are much closer to his dream than at any other time in this country's history.
