50 Years After The Dream

I HAVE A DREAM – 50 YEARS LATER

“Next week, the first black U.S. president, a living symbol of the racial progress civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed about, will stand near the spot where King stood 50 years ago and say where he believes the nation should be headed.” – Washington (AP)

HAVE WE FULFILLED DR. KING’S DREAM?

OOTD – Inauguration Day

Hello Friends and Happy Inauguration Day AND Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

As I sit at my desk watching the live stream coverage of Inauguration Day Ceremonies, my heart is filled with pride yet heavy with sadness.  Dr. King would have been very proud of President Obama, yet very disappointed at the hatred so prevalent in our great Nation.  I don’t think you have to be an African American to understand the history of today or feel the pride of freedom you just have to be an American.  

Okay getting off the soap box now…
