Re: Akilah Bolden-Monifa's Dec. 29 commentary, "Happy Kwanzaa, everyone":
How does the writer regard the dream of many civil-rights leaders (past and present) about the critical importance of a color-blind society? More specifically, Martin Luther King's magnificent quote: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Is the writer really dismissing the wisdom and idealism of MLK's dream? Why the obsession with color and race?
