In the Unwritten household on MLK’s birthday, Dad made us girls listen to the “I Have A Dream” speech. Back then I didn’t understand the enormous impact that speech had on our nation in 1963. I simply thought it was a nice sermon. A very long sermon.
Now when I reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King, one thing stands out. One person can make a difference. This man bore the burden of leading a movement that changed the world. Today I rededicate myself to trying to live up to this ideal: “To judge someone not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”.
What are your plans for the MLK holiday?
