“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King lived and died for everyone’s children. He was willing to put his life on the line to create change and for that we honor him and do what we can to continue his message.

We all get caught up in the everyday and it would be impossible to spend every second thinking about how we could make the world better, fairer, stronger. If I say to my own kids one more time “you don’t know how lucky you are” they may rebel and turn into derelicts!  But today is a day to think about our dreams and those for our children.

The possibilities are there for each and every one of us, no matter where we come from. It is up to us to figure out how to make those dreams turn into realities and how to create and implement dreams that don’t only help us as individuals, but as a global, inter-connected world.
