Every January, just as our spring semester begins, I take time to listen to or watch Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech. Though I've heard and read it many times, it never fails to move and inspire me. It seems very relevant today. And it amazes me that the famous 'dream' sections of the speech were not in MLK's written text, but were a riff inspired by Mahalia Jackson's shout of , 'Tell them about the dream Martin!'.
"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. I have a dream today."
