Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously implored us all to "Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character." Given the chance to speak with Dr. King, Lawrence Silas no doubt would've told him that's exactly how it was in Florida's cow country during the days of open range grazing, and arguably remains so to this day.
