Thank you, Dr. King

“I have a dream that…little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thank you, Dr. King, for sharing your dream with the world. I’m sorry that it took far too long for people to understand that what was happening was, indeed, wrong. Your dream, however, has become our dream.

Thank you, Dr. King, for challenging us to look beyond skin color. You reminded the world that it’s what’s on the inside that’s important, not our mere appearances. It’s the content of our character, not the shade of our melanin. In your dream, you saw the Promised Land. While we’re really not that close to it yet, we’re trying.

Thank you, Dr. King, for standing up and paving the way. I have a hard time believing that my family would be what it is today without the sacrifices you made.

Today we remember. Today we commit to continuing to do better.

Thank you, Dr. King.
