Growing up, I never had a home to call my own. As a mom, it makes me proud to lock my door every day and go to work because I have a home to uphold.

Dr. Martin Luther King 50 Years Later
I had just turned 10 in April 1968 and though not very aware of the world beyond my segregated suburban Washington, D.C. neighborhood, I remember hearing of the assassination of Dr. King and feeling, somehow, it was a major loss for humanity.
