M: "Can't wait for that
three day weekend huh?"
J: "Totally."
January 17th, 2011 is not the day we have Monday off but a day no one should ever forget. It is somewhat like a holiday, definitely a celebration, but a day for America to remember the work of Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the first national holiday to honor an individual black American. This man helped change America. He screamed to the world and spoke out for justice for colored people, for an end to racial discrimination.
“Everyone knew that the sky is colored blue, that a spring lawn is green. But we have always argued about what to color man. King gave us the answer: Do not color him a yellow man. Do not color him a black man. Do not color him a white man. Color him or her human. It's time for a different hue.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. didn't just change the course of EVERY LIVING person in his generation but has changed those born the next generation then the next, next, next generation. He has dramatically made a difference changing the lives of everyone in the US. Thinking about King and the dramatic changes he created is just like thinking WHAT IF us humans never created google or the computer. He will still be relevant in 2011 till the end of the world. His legacy will never be forgotten.
