Regarding Peter Milward's March 27 letter, "A look back at the Elizabethan Era": To loosely paraphrase British statesman Winston Churchill and American civil rights leader Martin Luther King: Those who wallow in the history of racial wrongs are doomed to perpetuate the divisions they cause.

But I have a dream that Milward will one day learn not to give credibility to the hate speech spewed out by bigots of any color or any nation.
