The Fun of Living Together, authors Roberta Grimes and Kelley Glover "Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, 'Wait.' But ... when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky ... when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of 'nobodiness' - then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait." - Martin Luther King, Jr. It's time for us to come together and make his dream come true.Roberta Grimes is a small-business attorney and an afterlife researcher. Kelley Glover is a singer and music instructor whose "U BETTER Sing!" program teaches children the joy of sight-singing from the heart.
