Happy MLK Day

It's the National Holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr. and there is lots of coverage from not only the local news stations, but around the world. Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech is always one of my favorites to either listen or read again on the holiday. For the thousands of people who heard the speech that day in Washington DC, it had to be compelling but most of all inspiring.

As I glanced at photos during the Civil Rights Movement, I came across the one of the four college students who went to Woolworth in Greensboro, NC and sat down at the "whites-only" counter, but were refused service. They sat at the counter all day never to be served. Other sit-ins occurred around the country. We've come a long way and the efforts by Dr. King and his many supporters for justice and non-violence helped pave the way. Let Freedom Ring!
