"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal.'
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.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free al last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last'!"
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King Day came when the clock stroke midnight while we were sleeping. It is a day to remember the man who brought freedom to our nation and taught us that we're all created equal by God. If he hadn't stood up for what he believed in, we probably wouldn't have the freedom that we needed a long time ago. But gratefully one man who wasn't treated equal when he was growing up changed our hearts and made our eyes see clearly instead of blindly and we know what it means to have true freedom.
Today my mind woke me up because it was aware that I wake up early for school and it was thinking "Wake up! It's time to get ready for school. YOU DON'T WANNA BE LATE!!" And also my sister Melina was getting ready for work but then I went back to sleep 'cause my entire body was so tired and exhausted after going to bed late. Today will be a good day though 'cause it's a special day to remember when our freedom of equality was brought to this nation.
