The King

Jan 16, 2017

Seems like a good day for this picture, painted by Nathaniel Robers in 2009 as a pre-inaugural gift for the president. 

Thirty or so years ago today, over at my children's school in Tuscaloosa, the students were putting on a special program in the lunchroom. There were songs and a skit and one small boy who gave a speech about Dr. Martin Who's the King.

Obama won't always be president, but Dr. Martin will always, always be the king.
