Today is Martin Luther King day in the U.S., and I awoke today wondering how, four decades after Dr. King did his great work, we still have racial prejudice and bigotry in this country.
Yes, Dr. King did a great deal for civil rights, but we still have a long way to go before his dream is fully realized. Today, it's not just about white vs. black, but also white vs. brown, and white vs. anyone who is different.
We must all work every day to promote tolerance and acceptance. We must all work every day towards achieving Dr. King's dream, in which all people "will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Your homework for today:
- Watch video of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
- Read the text of the speech.
