Dr. Martin Luther King Day, 2021

The third Monday in January is annually set aside to honor the most towering figure of our nation’s civil rights movement, who gave his most eloquent speech in 1963 — I Have A Dream. That speech was a stirring call for true equality. After opening by noting the promise of our nation, that “all men are created equal,” near his conclusion, he said: “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.”
