Salute My Hero

Thinking of you on Veterans' Day, November 11, 2013. My brother Carl Edward Ruffin is the 4th soldier from the left. Thank you for your service in the Vietnam War.

R.I.P. 1942 - 2012

SIDEBAR

When I think of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the state of "Black" folks and our present day affairs my heart weeps. I then begin to wonder, "What would Martin do?"

Our education system is failing, unemployment is rampant, imprisonment of young black males is at a startling high, crime rate and gang infestation is a constant menace to society and in the minds of many all hope is gone or at best faded. What would Martin do?

There is one thing I do know. He wouldn't sit around sulking. He most definitely saw the glass half-full.

With all the dire circumstances cited above, the other side of that coin boost enormous progress. Under his leader ship African-Americans made great strides and when Black folks rise all of America's minorities rise with us. What did Martin do?
