Today is special, as we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. on the same day Barack Obama, a man of color, is inaugurated as President of the United States ... for the second time. I view these events as a testament to how much progress our country's made, and it gives me hope.
On this special day, I reflect on our past, while looking optimistically to our future.
Let's all take a moment to reflect and appreciate this day, no matter our country of origin, religion or gender.
Now more than ever we have to keep fighting for equal rights because we're not there yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reminder amiga! I think we have come far and I too am optimistic about our future for our kids sake!
ReplyDeleteI find it kinda amazing and cool that all the stars aligned and President Obama was sworn in to his second term 50 years after the march on Washington, 150 years since Emancipation Proclamation, on MLK day... crazy and honesly awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhile this is great, I still think about all the work that needs to be done... and am hopeful. :)
