Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! It's a good time to reflect on the positive changes and where we need to go from here.

I couldn't agree with you more, Eldee! Thanks for posting this.

He most certainly was an influential voice in the political/social advances made in the 60's.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! What an influential man he was.

I believe this is his speech that I heard a lot in elementary school from the Reverend King. http://www.mecca.org/~crights/dream.html

I have seen the promised land speech which, I believe was his last.

I'm glad to see some people taking note of the man and the day here! The "I Have A Dream" speech is even more powerful when you learn that, somewhere around the point of "Go back to Mississippi", Dr. King departed from his prepared speech and spoke his heart instead!
