The spirit of a legend lives on...

My son doesn't have school today... My husband is off from work... Around here...today is a federal holiday... no mail...no garbage collection...



This special day is to observe a man who left earth early but left behind a legacy that lives on today.



I remember being in the 5th grade and during the infamous Black History month in Feb. we were told to pick a Black leader and write about them. BUT, we were told NOT to write or talk about MLK. Reason...he was talked about TOO much and February was a short month. We only had time to talk about 1 Black leader each. Yeah. It all had to be crammed in one little month.



I digress.



My picture for today is Martin Luther King Jr. He fought for humanity...for the rights of ALL of us to be able to live in harmony. He was more patriotic than I probably would ever be. He loved his country enough to fight for equality.



Let us tip our hats and say Thanks.
