HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. WASHINGTON

Saturday is the birthday of Booker T. Washington, a great man because in advancing educational opportunities and civil rights for Black people, he improved the world for everyone. A stong tide lifts all boats. A wise man who said, “I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.”

(What does that say about me, in light of my “That’s Not Saddam” post?)
