Martin Luther King, Jr.Day, 2008
Keywords: eloquence, dignity, drive, inspiration, fire.
It's strange to acknowledge inherent racial prejudices when thinking of men like Martin Luther King, Jr.--and of countless people, ministers, musicians and artists who epitomize elegance as well as eloquence.
On this day that honors one heroic black man, I'll write about a man who's affected me. Frankie Manning, who is friend, teacher, royalty and inspiration to a group of folks from all over the world, has more class and dignity (not to mention energy, talent, joie de vivre, and generosity) than most people of any stripe--or if I'm being honest, of any race, creed, class, or age.
