Dr. Martin Luther King

I couldn't bare the thought of going to bed without posting something small about Dr. Martin Luther King, today, on his day.  His contributions were vast and he left this world far too early because of them.

Since I was off for the day, I spent a good deal of time in the car running errands which allowed me to tune into NPR for most of the day.  I heard piece after piece about how the civil rights movement played out and was overwhelmed with a great sense of appreciation for being right here, right now, in this historic moment.  

I've attached two clips that I needed to include:

• "I Have a Dream."
• BBC Martin Luther King's prediction.  

It is amazing that many of Dr. King's words are still relevant today.  As a country and world we need to look beyond gender, race, sexual preferences, class, age and focus on being a positive force in the human race.  After all, that is the one thing we all have in common with one another.
