Martin Luther King Jr.
While many of you are too young to remember the turbulent times of the 1960s, you can look around you today and see the results of Dr. King's work. It was his efforts toward bringing peace and brotherhood to people of all colors and ethnic backgrounds that helped to stop the open discrimination practiced in most parts of this nation.
Please take a moment today to thank Dr. King for all he has done. He paid the ultimate price for his vision and his efforts toward equal rights for all. While we have come a long way in the past 50 years, we still have a long way to go. One day, the color of our skin, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation will no longer be a factor in how people see each other. That day cannot come too soon for me.
Thank you Martin for all you have done. . . You truly made a difference. . .
