Make This Day Count

Today I pray we as a nation can celebrate how far we have come but not falter at working for how far we have yet to go. Vow to make this day count.

Key excerpt from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech, “I Have a Dream”:  “I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of  ‘interposition’ and ‘nullification’ — one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.”
