January 18, 2010



Happy Birthday, Rev. King. I know your birthday is actually on the 15th, but since you worked so hard to try on uniting a nation and working against hatred on both sides, it seems fitting that we celebrate one day as a nation. Thank you for your hard work. It started us down a road that we continue to travel today, and will travel for months and years to come. I do believe we are making progress. I believe that there are more people who can look at a person of a different race and see the person rather than the person's race. Of course there are still those who only see skin. And there are those who still seek to discriminate, either on behalf of or against a group. Dr. King, do you think that our society is working towards your dream? Do you believe that all racial groups are doing everything they can to find a way to equality or do you think some groups are sticking their heads in the sand and hoping for things to just get fixed?
Happy Birthday, Rev. King. You did many great things in life, but as many great men, your legacy is twisted and changed by those who follow in your steps. I hope, I dearly, truly hope that we can get back on the path and find away to end the hatred and misunderstanding and find a way to become a community.
