Tomorrow the nation, states and some communities will celebrate the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. He died for what he believed in which were equality and peace. Just recently we have seen the opposite actions from how our fellow Americans feel towards each other depending on classes and political affiliations. Acts of terror and soon to be harmful legislation will be enacted by the ruling party in charge. If we expect much change, we should accept what we get if we don't participate in the voting process. Dr. King wasn't a perfect man but name me any man that was. We all have an obligation to stand up for what is right. This includes our youth, who seems more preoccupied dealing with texting and anything other than current events that will affect them presently and in the future. Let us all take lessons from this man who believed in peace towards each other, not in violent actions that we have experienced already. Happy Birthday, Dr. King. May your Dream never be denied.
