Jake: ‘Lighten Up’

People made a stink over Dr. Joseph Lowery’s benediction at the inauguration. They say his prayers for a day when “brown would stick around,” “the red man would get ahead, man” and “white would embrace what is right” are in bad taste. He was merely throwing a little humor into a serious event and hoping for a day when we are all equal. Lighten up/Jake Barber, photo editor, UI Argonaut. More Off The Cuff.

Question: Were you bugged by Dr. Lowery's light-hearted prayer at the inauguration?
