Today we honor a great man, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Because of him and other brave men and women I was able to marry my best friend regardless of race.  And I leave you with a quote by this great man:

 Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.
