Every year I stop and take time to watch Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, "I have a Dream." The first time I remember hearing about King was in the forth grade and even then his famous speech touched me. I still get chills when I hear the words. "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."
I hope you will take a few minutes out of your busy day to ponder King's last words of his "Dream" speech, "From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'"
If you literally only have few moments to glance at the above video then fast forward to the last two or three minutes and watch.
