What a Day
Today is Holocaust Rememberance Day. Sixty plus years after the fact, we still have ethnic hatred raging throughout the world and the goal of getting rid of the Jews has merely shifted office locations.
Today is also the day Jackie Robinson broke the color line of MLB in 1947. (As an aside, he was a varsity athlete in four sports at UCLA: baseball, football, basketball and track). Think about that for a second. Only sixty years ago, probably when your grandparents and some of your parents were still alive, no African-American could play professional baseball with Whites.
And if I'm not mistaken, tax deadline is April 17 because today is Sunday.
