    The book on which that topic is based is easily the best $2.50

629.5not part of Black History Month, but....MOMCAT::TARBETall on the river clearMon Jan 21 1991 09:1811
    Last night about ten of us gathered at 'ren Foster's place in
    celebration of Dr. King's birthday (he was actually born on the 15th,
    but the public holiday is the third Monday in January).  We shared
    reading from his speeches and sermons, talked about where his dream is
    today, munched on the buffet 'ren laid out, talked about the war, and
    tried to understand how we could help make Pastor King's dream more a
    reality tomorrow than it is today.
    
    The evening ended too soon for all of us, I think.
