"The Dream" is still prevalent today in America!
It has not been fully achieved; keep up the efforts for equality...

"...I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today....."

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy MLK day my favorite quotes:





"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true."

-Martin Luther King Jr.

I totally agree with Martin Luther King, those were rough times for all of us. On a more radical side...... listen to MALCOM X...... dam those words from MALCOM X hold so much truth, but very radical...... hey!!!!! don't mix politics and sex.... now stop!

I have a book with all of his speeches & interviews...very intelligent man.
