MLK Day 2011: Martin Luther King - "I Have A Dream" Speech (DUE 1/31)

Today, I ask all of my brothers and sisters of America and beyond to take time to remember a true martyr of freedom, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let his life's work continue to promote progress and humanitarianism in all people.

Let us all aspire to have a voice that echoes MLK's Dream...
