Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Today, we honor Martin Luther King, Jr.
In 1963, Dr. King delivered his famous "I have a dream..." speech.
Here is a short excerpt below, in addition to some photos to honor Dr. King on his day.


A short passage from Dr. King's most famous speech:
Dr. King and his lovely family:
Dr. King and Robert F. Kennedy:
A great man, a great speaker:

Dr. King seemed to be a very serious man, handling very serious issues. It was, therefore, touching and special to find this photo of him laughing.

In remembrance:


Best,
Gloria

  17. Great post. Hope your snow has gone away or at least melted a little. It rained here most of the day yesterday so it's pretty much just green grass for now. More snow coming tomorrow though.

  19. I was just thinking of this speech tonight. He had such a beautiful dream. God works in mysterious ways for so much of his dream has come true. I wonder how many of our dreams would come true if we listened closely to the good inside of us.
