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 only from Dr. King but from millions of people throughout the world. Dr. King helped plant the seeds for such a dream – sometimes the seeds sprout up and sometimes their sprouts are cut down by the forces of oppression. But the seeds are there. We can continue to plant them in our lives and in our own dreams…and protect those that are sprouting out and becoming alive and vibrant. It is up to us to make this dream come true. Check out the video. After watching, remember, the torch has been carried to our generation. It is up to us to ensure the global realization of this dream:

Hey All,
It’s actually the 45th anniversary, not 25th. The speech was given in 1963.
Love what you do!

WHOOPS! Thanks Pippin. The thing is, I wrote that post in 1988 and forgot to change it to forty five. No just kidding. For some reason I got the numbers confused. I’m changing that right now and thanks!
