MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY

Today we celebrate the life and words of MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. As we enjoy our day off from work or school (if your job gave you the holiday off, that is), please take atleast a brief moment to think about our Civil Rights. Think about where Civil Rights were at before King and the Civil Rights Movement...think about how much has changed since. And most importantly, think about how much work and growth is still needed.

My grandparents had the honor of marching with Dr King on that historic day. To this day, when my grandmother reminesces about that day and the speech, she gets goosebumps!

Click here to read King's profound "I Have A Dream" speech, 1968. If you haven't heard or read it before, here's your chance!
