I Have A Dream

Dear Editor:
Jerry McCoy is disturbed that the National Memorial Project Foundation's new statue of Martin Luther King, Jr., will be carved by a Chinese sculptor from granite quarried in China (Letters, Feb. 23). Mr. McCoy wants the statue to be carved by an American sculptor from granite quarried in America.
He should be less prejudiced. To paraphrase Dr. King, I have a dream that one day the goods and services that Americans enjoy will be judged not by the nationality of their producers but by the character of their content.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
