Your skin doesn't make any difference

Last year we shared Robert's take on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This year his understanding has grown. We were watching Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech on YouTube and talking about the March and why so many people came. Robert said:

"Why did we need new laws if the Constitution already says that everyone's equal?"

"There used to be water fountains that had a sign on them that said 'white people only' and I don't think they should have done that. That's wrong. They definitely shouldn't do that cuz your skin doesn't make any difference when you're thirsty."

Amen.
