Today, we honor the life of a man who fought for acceptance and freedom. Federal offices, post office and banks across America close so that we may enjoy a 3 day weekend and come back readier to accept others as they are help them to become who they want to be. Above all, we should remember that without difference in the world we would all have committed suicide a long time ago. We should carry on his legacy of fighting for freedom, dignity, and equality for everyone. In this digital age, differences of race, language, or culture are tiny barriers between peoples. It is time for us to tear down those barriers completely and create a common ground upon which all the people of this world can play, create, and learn. Remember the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr. and make it more than a dream.
This is slightly hypocritical of me since I am not very accepting of other people - especially others of different intellectual abilities. However, I realize this and am working to accept people for who they are -with all their strengths and weaknesses.
nice job, thanks for taking the time to think about MLK and write something. At least I know you know what his dream was and how it has motivated so many people.
thanks
