I remember when I was young, how exciting Civil Rights were, something so bright and shiny. There was a certain amount of excitement that sometime soon people would be judged on an individual basis, not on their gender, skin color or ethnicity. Maybe I&#8217;m a cynical old lady, but it seems to me in the last decade or so, we&#8217;ve been moving backwards instead of forwards. Still, the fact today was also the Presidential Inauguration of Barrack Obama into a second term would make MLK and the others of his era proud. In the fifties and sixties the very idea of a dark-skinned person running for president, let alone winning, was unimaginable. Maybe it&#8217;s one step forward for every two back.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"2468\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/rapunzel-curls-up-with-a-good-book\/rapunzel_coloring-page\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"614,794\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rapunzel_coloring-page\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page-231x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2468\" style=\"margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;\" title=\"Rapunzel coloring page\" alt=\"rapunzel_coloring-page\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page-231x300.jpg\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page-115x150.jpg 115w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/rapunzel_coloring-page.jpg 614w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a>Click on the image to get your 8.5X11 coloring page download.<\/h3>\n<p>I love to hear from you.
