“Now, I say to you today my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: / we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

- Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream, 1963

As our nation remembers Martin Luther King tomorrow, I am thankful for his tremendous leadership, fearlessness and sacrifice.

We can continue to honor his legacy everyday by loving one another
and embracing equality world wide.
