In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. day on January 19, 2009, the Columban office in Omaha, Nebraska was closed. Yesterday we celebrated the life of a man dedicated to social justice whose mission was far from complete when he was assassinated.
And today, January 20, 2009, president-elect Obama will become President Obama, the 44th President of the United States and the first African American president in our history. Certainly Rev. King would have been proud to see the election of President Obama.
President Obama’s official mission begins today. Let us wish him well as he begins the journey.
