The Martin Luther King Jr., Memorial Dedication is one of the best ways to celebrate a person of life, dreams, and legacy. This is a way that we as African Americans can show our appreciation to a man of integrity. What makes this moment so historical is that the memorial is the first in Washington, D.C to be dedicated to a person of color. King was a man of hope, love, justice, peace, and democracy.
President Obama spoke so well of King. He mentioned the things that we have overcome and yet more to come. It’s not about what we haven’t overcome but what we will overcome. Its time for us to stop complaining and get out and do what is right for African American rights. One of the things that we have to understand is there were people that paid the way for us. So what we have to do is work and fight for the things that will help the generations to come.
