This issue of a VISION AND A VERSE honors a special January 21st;
the celebration of Martin Luther King's birthday on President Obama's second
inauguration. With a nod to the words of another visionary leader and orator,
Irish statesman Charles Stewart Parnell, may we never fix the boundary to the
march of our nation's progress, nor its ne plus ultra.
Here we are; marched past
the boundary of a nation,
its ne plus ultra within us.
We still have our dream.
