What an appropriate message for today as it is the eve of breakthrough on this "dream". I haven't read this speech in many years, and after reading it again today I am reminded of MLK's passion, leadership, and confidence as he stood in the face of adversity for the sake of justice for all colored people.
I am rejoicing with all those who are rejoicing as Pres-elect Barack Obama becomes the first black president in our nation's history. I wish MLK was alive today to see the fruit of his leadership. We need more people in our society today like MLK; people with passion, determination, integrity, and leadership.

Good to see a post from Mrs. Bible Dude!
I agree that it is great to see someone become president of the USA who does not look like a white-male. Nothing wrong with being a white-male, but it is a joy to see one of the most powerful positions in the world shared with other races. Hopefully, in the near future it will be shared with the other gender. May God bless Obama (and his family) and use him to "advance" the lives of the people of the USA and the issues facing Earth's people.

Thanks for your though Krista and Mark! I agree that MLK would be very proud right now. I don't know that he would have imagined that it would take another 40+ years after this speech to see this happen, but it is a great fulfillment of his dream nonetheless! Politics aside... I am rejoicing with those who are rejoicing right now! This speech still gives me goosebumps, and it certainly is a great time to watch it again!
