Happy New Year! I think I am okay saying that until the end of January. As for the weekend, thanks to Martin Luther King Jr., there is no school on Monday. For that, we should probably remember the issues for which Reverend King stood. His push for civil rights through civil disobedience and nonviolence was inspirational at the very least. As a Nobel Peace Prize winner, he was devoted to equality for all. In his famous ‘I Have A Dream’ speech delivered on August 28, 1963, he made the most famous statement, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Powerful words that today we look at and say, “dah”! Judge people on the content of their character? Absolutely! Everytime. Thank you Dr. King for your profound words and actions. We will forever be grateful. Enjoy yourself and have an unbelievable weekend…Go Pups! (cue: Pete Seeger – We Shall Overcome)
