40 years have past and your words still live on as if they had been spoken yesterday. The fight that you gave your life for is still going on today in much of the country. As many things in our nations history never make it much further than a sentence in a history book or a definition in the dictionary, Your words and what you fought for will forever be revisited. For you had a dream Dr King, and that dream lives on. As I sit and listen to all your speeches from the past and then I sit and listen to all the clips of another man claiming to fight the same fight you fought, I cant help but wonder if you were still alive today, If you would condone the things being said. You were a man of dreams and wanted a world of change. You fought for equality not to be the better race but to make race disappear so that all man were equal and had the same chance in life. You didn't condemn the white man for the past, you wanted the family's of slaves and slave owners to one day sit together as one and enjoy a meal. Today we are still far from reaching the dream that he had. Only this time its not the white man keeping the black man down but the black man keeping himself down. For the white man has forgotten about the old days and has held out their hand only to be slapped away by people like Rev Wright and Barrack Hussein Obama and his wife. This country will vote for a black man for president, we have seen that we have heard that and we know that. I just don't think that America will vote for that black man for President.
40 years later, you are missing a milestone in American History. A part of American history that may never happened if you Dr King had not done the things you did, said the things you said and helped the people you helped. We thank you and you will Always be remembered.
