I keep hearing the phrase “Free at last, free at last” being quoted this morning on the news, words spoken by Martin Luther King in his I Have A Dream speech. As I watch the Obama inauguration frenzy going on in Washington today, two things occur to me. One is that a lot of African-Americans [...]

The inauguration of the 44th President of the United States is an historic occasion. Fittingly, it’s getting a lot of coverage in the legacy press.
But it’s getting a lot of coverage in other non-traditional outlets (e.g. ESPN), which got me to wondering why?
