45 Year Anniversary

45 years ago today, real world Auror Dr. Martin Luther King Jr stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial and gave one of the most moving speeches in US history and perhaps world history. Almost every child in the US has some familiarity with the “I Have A Dream” speech. It is a dream not [...]
