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.
