    It was 40 Years Ago Today . . .

    Today is the 40th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. We ask what that means to a younger generation of African-Americans who grew up with that day as history and not memory. Also, mortgage rates have been falling for a few years now—- why are they on the rise?
