DR. MLK JR. DAY 2017 – TIMES OF CHALLENGE AND CONTROVERSY

Posted by | Jan 16, 2017 | , , , |

By Hipolito Navarrete, Managing Editor/Publisher There are bleak moments and bleak years to be endured in a lifetime. Those are the years that can lead to progress and to rebirth, but they can be marred in violence and in terror if allowed. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us to look for those that would lead through the darkness, he somehow knew that there were things that must be done in order for the light of freedom and dignity to survive in bleak times. We must continue to understand that his work and our march toward a better civilization will...

DENZEL WASHINGTON’S “FENCES” – AN ARISTOTELIAN DRAMA
