Fifty years ago today Martin Luther King Jr., marched in Washington D.C. and gave one of the most epic speeches ever given in the nations capital. Like John F. Kennedy's innagural address to the nation it is one of the most quoted speeches in this country. To be very honest I never heard or read the entire speech until I was in college, while I did know whom Dr. King was, I did not realize the impact his words had on this nation. Have we learned anything since Dr. Martin marched in Washington? I would truly love to think we have learned lessons from the turbulent 1960's.
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the march on Washing ton D.C. I am posting Dr. King's speech:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyR8h9iimw4
The Harmony Project has put together a wonderful four-minute video of the speech. It is truly wonderful, and I am happy to share it with all of you:

On this day, let all of us stand together, and remember that while on the outside each of us looks different on the inside we are all the same; muscle, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, blood, and brain. God made each of us in His own likeness, maybe it is time for all of us to remember this.
