On August 28, 1963, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shared a vision: “I have a dream that one day…”
That day, 250,000 people shared his dream.
It was not the dream of one man, nor for one man.
It was a dream for humanity.
It was a dream for justice.
It was a dream for equality.
Such dreams test courage.
They test resilience.
They demand that the dreamer remain steadfast,
whatever comes in the way.
Such dreams always ask for a price.
A heavy price.
A price of life.
Dr. King knew it well.
On the evening of April 4, 1968, he stood on the balcony of a Memphis motel, speaking quietly with a friend.
A rifle cracked.
A bullet struck.
His life was cut short.
But his dream was not silenced.
The dream refused to die.
Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr., who rose as a civil rights leader, became the voice of nonviolent
resistance in America. His leadership in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March
on Washington, and the Selma campaign helped dismantle segregation and advance
civil rights legislation.
In 1964, he was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet his greatest reward was the millions he
inspired with his vision of justice and equality.
Though his life ended in Memphis, his dream lives on.
It has transcended.
It beats in the hearts of millions.
It reminds us that a dream endured in sacrifice becomes
eternal!
