I Have a Dream

"Just as 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.  I have a dream today."

                      - Dr. Martin Luther King 8/28/63

Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

           

                
              

A Dream

1 voice.

18 seconds.

42 words.

Was all the time required.

All the words necessary.

At a single point in time.

To nudge mankind toward

a direction that 

led to a better life for

millions.

            

It may have taken a

lifetime of dedication

to a cause - that was

worth giving his all for -

to arrive at that 

place and time.

          

It may take generations

 to move that dream to a reality.

But at a single point in time.

At a single location on the planet.

In 18 seconds, and with 42 words - 

the course of world history

was changed forever. 

          

Can one person make a difference?

Here was one.

Can you make a difference?

Dang right you can.
