AUGUST 28 is the date in black history for several key events: the 1955 lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi;  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 “I Have A Dream” speech during the massive March on Washington; the 2005 date that Hurricane Katrina made its tragic landfall; and the Denver night in 2008 when Barack Obama became the Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate.
