These are the words that Martin Luther King Jr spoke to the 250,000 supporters at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, on 28 August 1963.
Fifty years ago today.
The following year he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and tragically assassinated in 1968 when still only 41.
As I was mulling over the importance of his speech, the powerful words he spoke, the determination he had for his ‘four little children’, I was wondering what his reaction would be if he were to see what progress had been made. How much has changed over those 50 year years? How much still has to change?
It also got me thinking about what our own dream is. Do take a few moments to reflect on the heartfelt words of Dr King – and use them to ignite your own dream.
His words have left a legacy, what will your legacy be?
My best wishes,
Peter
