To compare V-J Day (Victory over Japan) with the V-B Day (Victory over bigotry) is like comparing Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with chopsticks; the Mona Lisa with a kindergarten painting; War and Peace with a Peanuts comic strip; Einstein’s achievements with a first-grade math solution.

Surely there are better ways to work for the dignity and worth of our citizens.
