Lightbulb Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Please, listen to the speech... no matter how well you think you may know it.



"I am happy to join with you today, in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation."

More than 45 years later, he was right; it was probably the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

"I have a dream that one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will judged not by the color of their skin, but by he content of their character."

This year is a unique one because tomorrow we will inaugurate a black man as the president of the United States. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of the day that a person would be judged by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. Tomorrow we will fulfilled that dream in a very real sense.

Today, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is a good reminder that things take time. Change doesn't happen over night, but there is hope and change is coming.
