This year would have been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 93rd birthday. MLK day is celebrated all over the world now, and it is a day worth celebrating. When we look back on how his legacy began, it is still hard to believe how far we have come. We have seen some good days and bad days, we have experienced many highs and lows, but the truth is, we have come a long way.
Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech is one of his most famous speeches and some say it was prophetic. From his passion for change, to his humble nature he has shown us that we can lead with love and kindness. His peaceful approach has angered many but has proven to be life-changing for all.
His nonviolent movement came with many challenges and sacrifices, but it has taught each of us how to overcome and conquer anything, even if we do not see immediate results. This attitude is needed today, with all the tensions and unfairness going on in the world we must remember Dr. King’s words “We shall overcome.”
Let us never forget his legacy and what he started, let us continue to keep his dream alive and let us remain hopeful until his dream is a complete reality.
Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
