Pedro Albiter recalls with feeling the moment at last weekâ??s celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day when blacks, whites and Latinos joined hands at the Overture Center to sing â??We Shall Overcome.â?
â??Color didnâ??t matter. It was so emotional, I can hardly describe it,â? says Albiter, a state worker. But the moment was just that, he admits. A lasting bridge over the chasm of race?
â??Thatâ??s going to take more years. Itâ??s very hard to even talk about.â?
