"I have a dream... " I remember hearing Dr.
King's most famous speech (I was a lad of 9 at the time) and the uproar, furor, passion, and celebration it ushered
into our lives. Over the years, I've listened to this speech many times and it has never failed to touch me deeply and
give me hope. These closing lines give me chills... always have... always will."And when this happens, when we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every tenement and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.""
1. Marc,
Well said and hopefully many will remember when... When individuals had the courage to stand up and say what is right - in the right way. Regards to all if you know what I mean.
