important listening on MLK day



I was moved listening to this recording of a talk given by Dr. Martin Luther King on August 28, 1963. It is inspiring. I was 8 years old when the talk was given and the civil rights movement was in full swing. King was an amazing writer and a wonderful speaker and he lead a cause that was long over due raising awareness and helping to bring civil rights for all Americans. The phrase in our pledge of allegiance rings true "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
I'm very grateful that he and others sacrificed so much to make it happen.
