An article appeared recently in the Columbus Dispatch, the major daily for the city of Columbus, Ohio, that clearly illustrates that during this month that we are celebrate African Americans' contributions to this country, that we still have not arrived to a time where racial bigotry and hate is a thing of the past.  The accompanying photograph sums up the feelings of this individual protester. 

Columbus, located in central Ohio, is today the largest city in Ohio.  It, along with other Ohio cities played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad in helping many slaves find freedom from the oppression, violence and cruelty of the American South.  But along with the good, there comes the bad.  This incident occurred in a small city just a few miles south of the largest metropolitan area in the state.  It shows that still lingering, many years later, is a deep seeded hate, and resistance to the positive change that diversity has brought, and will continue to bring to our country.
