MLK: History

Martin Luther King Jr

Thank you for The Dream

January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968

November 4, 2008 was Tuesday

Once upon a time families were

Torn apart and a price

Put on their heads.

There were folks who forever had a dream-

And shouted it to millions

Far and near because one day...

There would be a day

When history

Looked upon a page from yesterday.

As he moved his own family in

a White House folks of the past

Broke their backs to build-

Folks voted for Change on this day a year ago.
Today some folks are still not happy.

Economy. War. Jon & Kate.

This family is in it for the long haul-

As were families of long ago

And so am I.

I remain optimistic.

That's why God graced us with patience.

History.

January 15, 1929 was a Tuesday

When a baby boy was born in Atlanta, Ga.
He grew up to engage the fight for respect and civil rights of others.
On an August 1963 day, he spoke to millions about a Dream.
In 2008, Martin Luther King's Dream began to be reality.
The vote for President of these United States proved it.
