Remembering Martin Luther King Jr.

Today is a day of service where we as a nation should remember a great American, Martin Luther King Jr. As you can imagine with the events of tomorrow, this years MLK Day takes on greater meaning. Dr. King worked for this day, and I do think this is what he pictured when he dreamed of the future. I do believe Barack Obama will prove to be a worthy heir apparent of the King legacy.

Here is his speech to the 2008 Democratic National Convention:


That speech of course led to the great night night of November 4th. Here is President-elect Barack Obama's Victory Speech:
