Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

This year's observances were so pitiful in the media, and in in many cases in our communities.
Every year, we should replay the actual footage of his I Have A Dream speech. We have a lot
of other days to do snippets and re-enactments. We in the black community are entrusted with
his legacy of keeping the dialogues open, at least with one another. We don't need a lot of media
coverage in order to organize community remembrances. He opened the doors to the activism the
law did not set precedents to further. Let us show each other we cannot let pass how many
people sacrificed all under his leadership just to have a chance. We got no real enforced promise. But we began to have a bit of a voice, and more of a chance.
