When was the last time you heard a speech that moved you, that made you sit up and brush the potato cookie crumbs off your lap and watch?
The last time you heard a speech that made your eyes well up? When was the last time anyone really got to you, really said something with substance that you will always keep with you?
Lately, I’ve been thinking about sound bites, and how we live in a sound bite society. Unfortunately, The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has been reduced to the “I Have a Dream” soundbite. But, if you think about it, Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream…” message was a simple, yet powerful message. And very necessary.
Do you really know Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?
Why doesn’t anyone ever quote these words by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?
