Happy Martin Luther King Day!


"If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live." ~MLK


I really don't know where to start with this. I feel so many people, minorities in particular take for granted what this day really means (including myself). I don't think people really understand what Martin Luther King stood for, or realize the impact he had on society today. We are all ignorant to some extent,when it comes to this topic; but that doesn't mean we can't educate ourselves so that we may have a better understanding of what this day really means (no, not just a day off of work). I am posting a few links to help educate yourself. I am always finding out something else Martin Luther King Jr. has done for my generation; no it doesn't get old. So take this time out and look at some of these links, and learn something new about MLK. Take the time out to watch his most famous "I Have A Dream" speech, go ahead, I mean it is his day and all, and I'm pretty sure you have the day off of work because of him 8). Please gives these websites a look. I really like the intro to the first website, it is "automatically inspiring!" HAPPY MLK DAY!
