In Observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'm very glad to have time to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and what he did for our society. It is very pleasing to have such a visible example of a man who lived the faith that he preached. His speech and his actions consistently demonstrated that all men were equally dignified in the sight of God. His courageous approach to obtaining justice convicted and convinced his countrymen. He denounced, but he also showed us the way forward to a better life for all, and now many millions have been enriched by his vision of a place where we judge by character instead of by appearances. This is an appropriate day to remember him and all the many other people who worked and suffered to mend our flaws and present us as an example to inspire everyone.
