{January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968} In honor of a pivotal and influential figure for all people, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., this blog is dedicated to him. Dr. King deposited a wealth of knowledge, leadership and fought for fairness and equality. He was a man who stood for humanity and human decency. He simply stood for Civil Rights.
🌟As a Civil Rights Activist, Dr. King literally gave his life for a cause greater than himself. He was relentless because he identified his purpose early in his life and he lived for that purpose until his death. Often threatened, Dr. King knew his life was in jeopardy by men who stood for hatred and evil. Not reaching the age of 40, he encouraged people before his death to continue the dream, to do good in this world and make a difference. Dr. King accomplished so much during his 39 years of life, even though he saw minimal results during his lifetime. We should be inspired to do something that fills the void of others who are not being treated fairly. We should never become comfortable nor accept the mistreatment of anyone of any race. We should be as passionate about equality and fairness -for all- as Dr. King was. There will only be one Dr. King, but each of us can do something to make life better for our fellow man, especially for our children’s future. Denouncing discrimination of any kind is a great place to start. As long as we have breath, we can position ourselves to be a part of the dream.

*Many schools and other structures carry the name of Dr. King. There are 950 streets named after him throughout the U.S.
We can, no matter our race, ethnicity, religion or gender, reach back on all plateaus and tell young people, remind all age groups, that they are beneficiaries of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dream. We, too, must have a dream. A dream requires remaining hopeful. Where there is hope, there is strength; when efforts are made to improve how life is today, a difference will emerge.
🌟The historical “I Have A Dream” speech was delivered by the gifted Dr. King on August 28, 1963 in Washington, DC with 250,000 people in attendance. It was a defining moment that will be considered a masterpiece oratory until the end of time.
