Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today we celebrate another holiday- a day off from work, a day to take advantage of sales, a day the kids are home from school. In short, a three-day weekend. In our often busy lives, we relish the extra day off, an extra weekend day, but do we stop and honor the man who is celebrated today? I hope that most Americans do. Dr. King's message should not be forgotten. It is as relevant today as it was the day he proclaimed his "I have a dream" speech. Dr. King understood the true meaning of humanity, equality, and brotherhood for which the American ideal stood. His dream was that America could truly embody that spirit of freedom and equality. We all should heed his message and honor his legacy today and every day. 

"An individual cannot start living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
