Let us celebrate both the re-inauguration of President Barack Obama and the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let us raise the flag, sing songs, salute our democracy. And let us talk, as we do every four years, about the greatness of our land, our democracy, our uniqueness.

      I don’t doubt it. I look at Google Live Street views all the time and
      what see on the border of Detroit and Grosse Pointe is shocking in it stark contrasts, considering that just three
