The Dream

"I have a dream." Dr. King's words live on past his death.

I know, I know, it's not January. But I am doing a report on the Civil Rights Movement, and so his words are ringing through my head. I am amazed by just how much happened...some things have been drilled into my head since I was a little girl, and other things I haven't heard of until now. In Seattle, there are so many community centers, highschools, gradeschools, etc. named for people: Langston Hughes Community Center, Thurgood Marshall School (grade school or middle school? Can't remember), Medgar Eavers community center. And there's more across the country--living monuments to these people and what they did and what they stood for.

May Dr. King's dream come true...
