My Current Readings #10

Martin Luther King Jr., still recognized and remembered today. Found on Kare11.com an article titled "MLK, Jr. Preached Non-Violence in Minnesota: a Special Remembrance." A National Holiday- world wide. MLK Jr is remembered on a special day for not only the speech he made, "I Have a Dream," but also for him as a young man, boycotting and holding protests for african americans. This day should never be lived down. If it wasn't for MLK Jr. our world would still be segregated and unequal in every way. This is a national holiday because it has affected every single human being in this world. It has stood up for those who were being wronged, and has told off those who were wronging. MLK Jr.'s speech consisted of a specific part that i will not forget, "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!" That quote not only says that he is standing up for african americans because they are being treated unfairly, but it also says that he cares about his family and wants every individual to be recognized for the person that lies within them. Do not ever forget this day MLK Jr. has made for us. (http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=492371)
