March On Washington 50th Anniversary

The Civil Rights Movement

I was 4 years old on August 28, 1963 when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., along with other civil rights activists, lead the "March on Washington (DC)". This is also the day that Dr. King delivered his unforgettable "I Have A Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial. I cannot say "Thank You" enough to all those who answered "Yes" when God put it in their hearts to stand up for what is right and what they believed in so we could have a better way of life. They sacrificed so much... and, in some cases, their very lives. So today, I pause to honor and reflect on them because I still have faith in God and "The Dream"...
