Academy meal spurs debate

Baltimore Sun, by Josh Mitchell

An attempt by the Naval Academy to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. this week by serving fried chicken, greens and cornbread in the midshipmen’s dining hall sparked a debate on the Annapolis campus about racial sensitivity.

On Tuesday, the academy served those items along with mashed potatoes, pie and lemonade as clips of King speeches were broadcast in King Hall, named after an academy graduate. The meal was served Tuesday because classes were not held during the holiday honoring the civil rights leader.

  • 1 · Its food who cares? I for one would love this menu. Why does everything have to be tied to racial sensitivity? Just fear mongers stirring up trouble, Where is Jessie the thief and unsharp Al?
