If you'd like to help me out, sign up for a 14 day free trial to Squarespace using my referral link.

My new blog address is now jamesrbritton.com/blog.

We explained to him the significance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and how his day of civil rights celebration leads into the first inauguration of an African-American president.
