Remembering the Dream
/
Everyone has a dream. This one man has influenced all our dreams.
Over 52 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a speech that changed the history of our nation.
There are so many things we have learned from this amazing speech. These hopeful and inspirational words came during a time of difficulty. If you have a few minutes, take some time to read or listen to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
His dream was not only for blacks, but also for all races and ethnic backgrounds.
Other than the famous words of “I Have a Dream,” there are a few other words that stand out. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. repeated three words towards the end of speech that should resound throughout our lives. Those words are “Let freedom ring.”
We all have benefited from Dr. King’s dream. The freedom we all enjoy comes from several path blazers with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. being one. It is that freedom that allows us to think outside the box and capitalize on new opportunities.
So, I want to leave you with 12 life-changing quotes from Dr. King.
