Today is the day that we celebrate Dr. Kings birth, life and legacy. Dr King sacrificed many things to fight for equality, with the ultimate sacrifice being his life so that I have the opportunity to start, build, and create a business, sell to buyers with skin color different than mine as well as join organizations where I may be the minority but I am able to walk through the front door and access the same information. Now we are a far cry away from totally equality and an end to racism, but Dr. King and people from his movement stood up so that I have opportunities and so that my big brother Barack will be sworn into office tomorrow. Oh how Dr. King would of been proud, while I imagine his sadness at not being able to see his children grow up, nor comfort and love his wife until they were both fully gray, I love to think that he gave that all up so that his children cold live to see tomorrow. Thank you Dr. King for it all! Today I pledge to work harder, love harder, and create opportunities for others, so that your death is not in vain.
