Character, not ethnicity.

A wise man in August 1963 said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Apparently that day has not yet arrived in Florida, where The Florida Bar News announced in its subheadline one month shy of 50 years later, "The first African-American Bar president promises 'One Bar with One Mission.'"

Is it still necessary to identify Eugene Pettis as an African-American? Does the News continue to identify Justice Ruth Baderinsburg as the second woman Supreme Court justice or the first Jewish woman...
