CINCINNATI (AP) -- The push for racial equality is far from over, in sports and in everyday life, former President Bill Clinton told a crowd at Major League Baseball's Beacon Awards on Saturday, part of its Civil Rights Game.
President Obama led a chorus of "Happy Birthday" for Sen. Ted Kennedy on Sunday night at the Kennedy Center, topping off a celebration of the senator's 77th birthday that featured a crowd of celebrities and political heavyweights.
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. told followers the night before he was killed that he had been "to the mountaintop" and seen the promised land of racial equality. Last week's election of Barack Obama was the equivalent of taking all African-Americans to that peak, says Dr. Alvin Poussaint.
Not everyone can be Dr. Cliff Huxtable, the quick-with-a-quip dad
that Bill Cosby played on TV for eight years. But for the right price,
you could dress just like him this Father's Day
Finals are over, families have arrived, and May flowers are blooming on campuses across the country (and by blooming I mean schools are planting fully bloomed flowers the day before parents arrive). That's right, it's graduation time again. It's a time for students to reflect on the end of a long journey, a time for parents to revel in the accomplishments of their children, and above all, it's a time for colleges to show off the spoils from their hunt to find the most prestigious graduation speaker. Some schools had more success than others, and I'm here to let you know which schools made the five best and five worst speaker selections this spring.
Hundreds of protesters led by the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton rallied Saturday, saying the city's election plans will disenfranchise voters displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

As a kid, I never missed an episode of "The Cosby Show." Then again, I never missed an episode of "She's the Sheriff," so it was with some trepidation that I approached this season 1 set.
