I'll never forget going with some friends to the town hall to register a vehicle my friend bought. We walked through the building and it was empty except for two old ladies sitting on a bench. I asked if the town hall was closed that day and one of the women said, and I quote... "Yes. I never thought I would see the day we would be celebrating a N*****'s birthday."
It was Martin Luther King's birthday.
