MLK Day – 2012

In the Unwritten household on MLK’s birthday, Dad made us girls listen to the “I Have A Dream” speech.   Back then I didn’t understand the enormous impact that speech had on our nation in 1963.  I simply thought it was a nice sermon.  A very long sermon.

Now when I reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King, one thing stands out.  One person can make a difference.  This man bore the burden of leading a movement that changed the world.  Today I rededicate myself to trying to live up to this ideal:  “To judge someone not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”.

What are your plans for the MLK holiday?
