Thank you to the public school system of St. Paul, Minnesota for giving me my first chance to daily interact with people of other races.

Thank you to New York City, melting pot of the world, for providing a never-ending opportunity to meet all sorts of homo sapiens.

Thank you to all the people of different races and ethnicities who have come into my life and helped to expand and enrich my view of the world.

And thank you Martin Luther King Jr. and other crusading leaders for your brave efforts to create a more understanding and colorful society.

Happy MLK Day!
