50th anniversary of "I have a dream"



Well, 50 years ago on this date a prophet spoke "I have a dream". Most of us weren't here but the legacy that resulted from that historic "March on Washington" and the dream that was proclaimed has been lived and will continue to be lived for generations to come. Our world since that August of 1963 speech has gone a long way and with more to go. On this day we don't only remember the great speech, but also reflect on the wisdom and vision that Dr. King had in his nonviolent movement and the price that he foresaw coming. In the eyes of the world, it was stupid and cowardice to not retaliate when dogs were unleashed people seeking justice in nonviolent fashion and police beating and spraying them with water host etc. With that, we all need to hold tight to our individual dreams and not focus too much on what the world and masses think or say about us.




 We shall never forget the legacy for us. We as a people need to continue to pursue justice for all.
