I Have a Dream

Another Martin Luther King Jr. day has come and gone. We had a holiday, maybe a day off for those working day in and day out. Maybe a last day for "Operation Backpack" for those who were leaving for the dorms after winter break. His address to the mammoth rally at Lincoln Memorial on 28th August 1963, where he thundered "I Have a dream', still reverberates in the collective consiousness of this nation and of the whole world. It was a message of judgement, it was a message of hope.

Maybe we are not blacks, we stand in between as browns and we always choose the middle path, never offending anyone and always seeking our own undisturbed existence.

Can we affirm our identity and seek justice for all; in whatever small ways that we can?

Are we there yet???

Catch the power once again; take a little time to watch it- it will move you...(thank You Tube)
