I have a dream...

Happy Martin Luther King's day.


Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a wonderful holiday for families because it allows parents and teachers to discuss the valuable lessons of equality, compassion, and understanding to children of all ages. People all over the world, especially Americans celebrates the birthday of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. on the third Monday of January.


MLK's speech ''I have a dream'' inspires me..especially this..


I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.


Yet King is perhaps best remembered for delivering his 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech in front of a quarter of a million people in the Mall in Washington, DC. His famous line, "I have a dream 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," still resonate today. Thanks to him, today wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for his legacy speech of racial equality and discrimination.
