Martin Luther King - I Have a Dream...

Today, January 15th is the national observance of Martin Luther King's birthday. Of course, we in America know the significance of this day and what he did in his life not to get the wheels in motion for equality for African-Americans, but for all people.

Let's also remember the countless men, women and children who lost their lives in a turbulent period in American society for the quest of equality and the "Dream".

If you have chance, take a moment of your day, reflect, look back at all you have got & sometimes how different things can be. Society may still not be perfect, but it could be a lot worse.

However, it could be better and there's still work to be done.

The clip above is Martin Luther King's, "I Have a Dream" speech, which is easily the best, influential and possibly inspirational speech ever done.

Thank you Dr. King for all that you did throughout your short life.

I think this is very cool and very nice of the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Cardinals and Memphs Redbirds to do. Obviously, baseball was very integral in not only sports history, but as well the Civil Rights movement thanks to Jackie Robinson and the contributions of many others.

As you may or may not know, Memphis was where Martin Luther King Jr. sadly lost his life at the Lorraine Motel in 1968.

If it was not for Jackie Robinson, and last, but not least the contribution and life of Martin Luther King, needless to say, a lot of things would be different today.
