MLK Day

I am too young to have known much of Martin Luther King while he was alive.  I was nine years old when he was killed ... living the Army-brat life in Italy ... isolated from the turmoil in the US in the late 60s by culture and distance. 

(I borrowed this graphic from FB)
 
In my adult years, I have come to admire what Dr. King was ... and I wonder what further accomplishments he could have left behind.
 
Anyone who professes love and peace and understanding is someone that I hold in high esteem. 
 
Civil rights are HUMAN rights!
 
Bless you, Dr. King ... may we all do the best we can to live up to your Dream.

    Yes maybe we would have had a black president a lot sooner or maybe gay marriage in every state. We still have so much to overcome.
    Glad Daniel is still doing ok.
