Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Day in the United States. A day to symbolize freedom, and choice and hope. In 1964 - The late Martin Luther King, Jr. became the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work as a peacemaker, promoting nonviolence and equal treatment for different races.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said - "Let us come together, not only on this day, But on every day, as brothers and sisters united. Together we can fulfill his dream - The dream of the people."
Today, I am reflecting on the freedom I have, thinking about those I so often take for granted and hoping for a better tomorrow for those who don't have the same opportunties and freedoms. Today I honor the people of the earth and dream of world peace.
What are you doing today?
