Happy Birthday Martin Luther King
Today we celebrate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Born on January 15, 1929, Dr. King dedicated his entire life towards the Civil Rights Movement. He was a peacekeeper despite the abuse and mistreatment of our people during racial segregation. He fought for our civil rights as an activist along with countless other humanitarians who didnt believe in the ideology of one set of people being treated one way and others being treated unfairly. He stood up for us when people were scared to speak out and for that he was taken from us at the young age of 39 on April 4, 1968. I celebrate his legacy today along with you all because he paved the way for us to have a better life. He changed an entire nation, but as we all know til this day the very same things he fought for still exists in our world today. We've come a long way, but there's still alot of work to be done. In order to eradicate the mentality of people you have to change the way people think. It's because of him we all have our very first black president in Barack Obama. Not in a million years would you think that was possible but he laid the groundwork that paved the way for President Obama to be in office today. What I liked about Doctor King was the fact that he looked at all races of people being one. He believed in human kind, it didnt matter whether you were white, black, green, or orange. His determination to abolish racism sparked His infamous "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington. Well I'm here to tell you I have a Dream also. That dream is to help my people in Haiti right now who are suffering right now. We all have a little humanitarian in each of us and that's one thing about the human race I respect. In hard times, we bring solidarity and bond together for a common cause. I have a real cause right now that I need to fight and bring to the forefront. That fight is to make sure I'm doing my part to help out my people who is in dire need of my help. God works in mysterious ways and if this is my calling, then I whole heartedly accept the challenge. I was built for adversity! With that being said, I'm starting a foundation for that very purpose. Thanks to my good friend Bobby Johnson, I'm setting the wheels in motion to do my part. I'll update you with more information real shortly. Enjoy your day and be Blessed.
