Today's the day!

Amazing to think of what our children retain while at school...

I asked Erica, my 6 year old daughter in Kindergarten, yesterday afternoon if she knew who Martin Luther King was and to my surprise she said yes.  I'm not sure if I was more surprised that she was paying attention to my question or if it were that she actually did know! 

She went on to tell me how he had a speech & worked to help children keep from having to go to seperate schools & drink from different water fountains.  He did so much more than that...I just gave you the 6 year old version...

It's times like yesterday that I feel extremely blessed to live in a country where a man like Dr. King can lead an effort of unity & that although he has passed...his desires haven't.

'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.' August, 1963, in a speech to civil rights supporters at the March on Washington.
