In honor of Martin Luther King Day, I would like to share a story. When Paige was in middle school, we were at a weekend event in a park, and Paige pointed out a student in her class. There were so many people, that I needed more details. She said, "look over there - that boy in the yellow shirt, by the tree and he's kind of tall." So finally I saw who she was talking about and noticed that he was the only black teenager in the group. At that moment I was so proud of Paige that pointing out the color of his skin did not even occur to her. Being "color blind" is what Martin Luther King was hoping for and I think that we are getting closer.
