A few weeks ago I traveled to Washington Dc to see monuments, memorials, and all the other sights that let you know that some dead person did some pretty big and important shit. While there I observed the Martin Luther King monument. It was a moving experience. All types of people, reading his words on the walls of his monument, crying, and singing old hymns that I had only heard in movies like The Color Purple and Glory.
Two weeks later, I've noticed a shift in the worlds landscape. The best power forward in the NBA is white. An Asian player born and bred in America is now an adjective and he has started to do exactly what MLK did: inspire others to achieve greatness.... Even with the use of a piano. Check out the Jeremy Lin of the piano.
