Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King, I salute you, I honor you, I thank you for standing up up when others sat down. I thank you for being a man of integrity, justice, love, courage, humility and Godly character. Because of you, today many of us are able to D....R....E....A....M again!

Your dreams are not far-fetched, they may only make sense to you. The people around you may not understand or even agree with you, because it's not their vision- so it's not for them to see. Look at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Maya Angelou, Tyler Perry, and many others. What do they all have in common? They all had a dream, kept it close to their hearts, ran with it, and didn't allow anything or anyone deter them from going after it. So friend, keep on dreaming and one day your dream will come to pass. ~ Neasha Clarke

Comment by Nonqaba waka Msimang on January 21, 2011 at 12:10am: The introduction by Archbishop Desmond Tutu prompted me to buy this book: The Words and Inspiration of Martin Luther King Jr. from Wild Dog Press. I liked the idea of a South African commenting on the American experience. We tend to isolate history, this is mine, that is yours when it is essentially a human experience. I like the book's fee. It is a hard cover with a spine i haven't seen in a long time.

It brought back memories to me of participating in the Civil Rights Movement and I blogged about it on http://recipesforabetterworld.blogspot.com
