A Bygone Era
Melissa Hung - February 2, 2006
Did anyone watch the State of the Union address? There's the president praising Coretta Scott King, yet he holds none of the same values that she did. (Of course, he had to praise her as it would have been such poor taste and such a slap in the face not to). She was for non-violence, gay rights, women's rights, fighting poverty — such the opposite of this administration.
Her death feels like the passing of an era.
