As you sit at home today and enjoy a day of school off, think about why you have today off. Interesting thing about this day is that is is younger than me. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law back in 1983, when I was seven, but it didn't become an observed holiday until 1986.
Dr. King helped facilitate the conversation that allowed us to have a society such as the one we currently live in. Are there still issues that trouble our country? Yes. However, with Dr. King's words as a the motivation to move forward, and young, intelligent people, such as yourself, the country and this world can become a place where all people are viewed as equals. It can be a place where the views and opinions of others can promote change rather than hostility.
Enjoy your day off and think about what you have to offer.
