In That Order

The civil rights movement has officially become a tourist attraction. It was given a proper ceremony with all the uninspiring speeches and the whole nine yards. The dedication of the Martin Luther King statue marked the end of an era. By putting the monument in Washington D.C., we know it will at least be maintained. It wasn't built in the heart of the ghetto. Like the "Center for Social Change" in Atlanta, which is struggling to stay open. Best of all. They don't have to deal with the feuding children. The second son Dexter King wasn't even at the dedication.

The Civil Rights Museum in Memphis has recently become less unsure about it's future. They can now focus on raising the money for the annual awards they give out. Corporate sponsors and private donors have adopted the cause. To all those people with their complaints about those stepping up to the plate with money. An occasional meeting and a yearly visit only go so far. Especially when that visit is free. Dr. King asked that you be judged by the content of your character. Not that you get a pass without paying. Character goes a long way, but money is better. A winning combination is character and cash. Not necessarily in that order.
