For those of you who teach - take time to check out Coretta Scott King's amazing foundation for education - Teaching Tolerance. Even if you don't teach, there might be new things to think about there.
For those of you who love music - take time to enjoy a song written for the man that was reluctant to take the limelight but stepped in and stepped up when he knew it was the right thing to do.
Thank you Dr. Martin Luther King for being an amazing revolutionary in thought, word and deed. We don't do enough to honor you! Rest in Peace... may there be an end to all the Bloody Sundays... someday.
**Addendum: The History Channel is having a very cool 2 hour event this Sunday, April 6, I just saw advertised this morning on television. King looks like EVEN though it will compete with my Sunday night favorites (Desperate Housewives anyone?) is totally worth watching!

A lot great people don't want to be great. Like Dr. King, they just step up. What a magnificient human soul. I've taught Social Studies and English for a loooong time and to this day when I read his "I have a dream" speech I am so effing proud to be an American. Our country reaches for that elusive goal of equality. It has had no better spokesman than Rev. King. He is in the promised land on the mountaintop....
