In the United States today we observed the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. It is supposed to be a day of service. I’ll be honest and admit, I slept in, went to the dentist and spent time with my son today. We watched some of the coverage on the news, but in no way, shape or form did I perform public service.
Although I did not perform any service today, I can offer a link to the PDF of his 1963 I Have A Dream speech. Consider this excerpt:
“This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.”
I snagged this PDF link from Stanford University’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, which provides a variety of resources, in multiple languages and formats, about the life and efforts of MLK.
