Let Freedom Ring

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
--Martin Luther King, Jr.


Each year on the third Monday of January schools, federal offices, post office and banks across America close as we celebrate the birth, the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples. A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence.

If you haven't watched his speech in awhile, or ever...I highly recommend watching it in its entirety.

Here is a piece of it:



"I have a dream. I have a dream that one day
little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands
with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today."
