This week it is important to honor the accomplishments of a man who gave us the freedom and the ability to do what we do today.
A civil rights icon who represented millions of people who believed in fighting for peace, justice and equality.
A man who inspired goodwill and accountability with his powerful message that all men were created equal.
A Nobel Peace Prize winner, minister, father and husband upon whose shoulders many stood because they truly believed Dr. Martin Luther King could win the age-old battle of racism with a strong belief in God and words of wisdom that echoed around the world.
While fighting for equality for millions of black Americans, he faced some of the harshest cruelty any man could ever withstand, paying the ultimate price in Memphis in 1968.
He wasn’t fighting for himself but for equality for all. Racism was cruel and still prevalent today but Dr. King changed America. He is the reason why today we are able to associate with one another, live together in harmony and carry out his legacy and dream -- a dream that we all can live together under one-rule, one-government as a nation that would service all Americans regardless of creed or skin color.
We truly need to remember Dr. King and his legacy because he has helped us become a nation that can resolve and overcome anything if we unite. No matter what we do, we should remind ourselves and be thankful for the efforts of one man who has changed the face of America, a black man who made his mark in history with the ability to inspire so many people with his words and his actions without violence.
It is truly an honor no privilege to recognize Dr. King as a civil rights leader and a great humanitarian and to be able fulfill his legacy by remembering him for decades to come.
"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
Words to remember.
