Have you seen it?
Have you learned from it?
Have you been absorbed by it?
Have you made choices in your life to live by it?
I've been to Selma, Alabama. I've stood at the church. I've traveled the fateful road that saw so many march for what they knew to be their true and God-given rights. And, I've seen the segregation so obvious to the eye and heart which still exists in this place where the movement began.
"This situation can and will be changed."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Watch it.
Listen to his voice.
Feel it in your heart.
Live the truth.
Know this speech and it's important moment that opened a door of change in our collective human history.
Today is not just a day off from school.
It is a day to reflect and see how much has and has not changed since 1963.
Let freedom ring!
Well said.
