> As we enter this important weekend, I would like us to remember that
> Monday January 17 is a national holiday we all need to observe. It is
> Martin Luther King, Jr Day. I hope that employers respect this day to
> allow people to do something for the advancement of civil rights. It's
> not a day to go shopping. In fact, I wish all businesses would close as
> they do at Christmas.
>
> I found an interesting web site with resourceful links for Black
> History. The URL of this site is:
