Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.



Today we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but not only is this a celebration of his life, it is also a celebration of a new life...a new era.

I know many will post Dr. Kings "I Have A Dream" speech, but I chose his last speech because it has always been the one that, I've identifed with the most. I'm not really certain why this speech has moved me so much. Maybe it's because he foreseen his end nearing, or maybe because in this speech I always knew that we would someday "see the mountain top...the promised land". What amazes me the most is how true this dream has become.

Tomorrow our nation will swear in its 44th President Barack Obama. A black man, who brings hope and unity to this country and the world.

So, Happy Birthday Dr. King! Thank you for your foresight...your strength....your ideas, and your wisdom.

Dreams really do come true!!!
