A day for remembering

There’s an old black and white photo of a young girl in a white dress and veil. On her shoulder is the hand of the man standing next to her, the bishop who had just presided at her confirmation. Both are smiling. She went on to be just another teenager. He, on the other hand, went to jail — with Martin Luther King. And Dad often wondered where I got the idea that rocking the boat was a good thing.
