I have a dream...

Today is the 50th anniversary of the I have a dream speech and the March on Washington.  Many people got involved in the Civil Rights movement to help make our country a place where everyone would want to be.  They worked so that all people could be treated equally and not by their skin color.  Martin Luther King Jr. can be an inspiration to us all.  He knew there was a problem with our country and worked to find ways to fix it and get others involved.  Through non violent ways he made change.  He used his words for good.  He has and can still inspire us.  We can focus on people, not the color of their skin.  We can be kind to everyone no matter their background.  He truly is a hero.

I hope you enjoyed learning a little about him today as we read and wrote a little about him today.  He truly has made the world a better place.
