If you haven’t reread the speech today, I invite you to go ahead: it’s a good one with a powerful message. I was born in 1970, which means that the most important battles of the civil rights movement were things I grew up reading in the newer civics and history books. It also means that I can take our current state of affairs completely for granted without ever having to think that it was horribly different within living memory – which is a grave disservice to those who were hurt or killed in changing the course of history. So, let us not allow this complacency to cause us to think that we have fully walked the path that this good man of God (among others) showed us, and may you all dream as well and fiercely as Rev. King.
(via Michele. HA! Bet you thought that I was going to say Glenn.)
