We all have a free day for a reason- to reflect on the thoughts of the great man Martin Luther King Jr. and his dreams for a better country.
A country that would not discriminate against color, race, gender, or religion.
A country whose citizens would not turn their backs on their neighbors because of that discrimination.
A country whose children would not cry to their fathers because they were teased and hurt.
We should all take this day to remember that we, as citizens of America- such a bountiful country, full of opportunities- carry on our shoulders the responsibility of accepting everyone and anyone, no matter what they look like or believe.

mlk jr. is so inspiring. love it
Thank you
Very thoughtful. I never do think about what this day really stands for.
My mom is full Puerto Rican and when she was a kid, some of her friends' parents wouldn't let them talk to her anymore because of it. I don't understand how people could be so cruel, especially to a child.
I look so white that I never even think about how this issue really could affect me..
