Martin Luther King Monday

There are a few things American’s have right – a long weekend in January is DEFINITELY one of them. This weekend marks the first US holiday weekend of 2010. It’s excitingly followed by "President’s Day" next month (oddly "Family Day" hasn’t come south of the border). My best friend interestingly pointed out that January is when a new President's inauguration happens, and February is “Black History Month” – yet "Martin Luther King Day" is in January, and "President’s Day" is in February. Hmmm. Like I said – they have a few things right.

In honor of Dr. King’s memory, I’ve included a link below to a 17-minute video of his “I have a dream” speech. It's worth a watch.

I wonder if he ever dreamt of having a black President... "Free at last!"

What’s your dream?
