Much of today's news coverage focused on honoring and remembering the great civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr., whose place in history and many accomplishments have helped all of us become a stronger people who strive to make this country, this world, a better place.
Though he left us at an early age, he will never be forgotten. He left his mark on society in so many ways (one of which will be taking place tomorrow in Washington, D.C.).
His leadership, faith, peace-filled life, teachings, and high morals (among so many other wonderful attributes) should be a model for each and every one of us.
Dr. King's impact continues each and every day...and will continue for generations to come.
His most famous mark would appear to be his inspirational "I have a dream" speech during the March on Washington in 1963.
And because of Dr. King, every day dreams and visions continue coming to life.
How apropos that our 44th President of the United States and first African-American President should take his oath of office during the week we commemorate and celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy.
We as individuals and as a country united continue to have many hurdles to climb....many hardships to overcome. However, seeing how far we've come on many fronts, witnessing what we all are about to witness on January 20th, 2009 should give us great hope for our future.
Keep the faith, people of peace.

Well said Dani ...
We can't expect it all to get fixed overnight, but for the first time in a long time, a great many people feel it at least can be fixed.
Keep up the great writing! Eric
