Bronze bust of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Ansonia inspires writer

Since husband Ralph and I publish a free online community newsletter I feel I can occasionally stray from journalistic rules.

That happened today when I opined and used first person in writing a story about the unveiling Saturday of the Martin Luther King memorial in front of Ansonia City Hall.
The bronze bust of the slain civil rights leader sculpted by Ansonia resident Vasil Rakaj is truly magnificent. 
And I was thrilled to witness history in the making!
