Today is the
birthday of American icon of peace and unity, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was largely responsible for the level of
cohesiveness and cooperation between the various races of our great nation. When we salute Dr. King, we salute...
~Peace
~Freedom
~Equality
for all
~Decency and
humanity
~Respect for
all people
~Love for
our fellow man
~Uplifting
the downtrodden
~A united,
stronger America
~Dignity and
grace under disgraceful circumstances
~Courage in
the face of overwhelming odds
~The promise
of a better tomorrow
~Bravery in
the throes of fear
~Miracles in
the midst of maltreatment
~Hope in the
headwind of despair
~The
greatness of God in the poorest of circumstances
~The healing
of America in spite of hatred and hostility
~Unity
instead of unnecessary division
~A
comforting embrace instead of angry confrontation
Please join
me in honoring Dr. King and his extraordinary legacy today.
