Happy Birthday Dr. King.

Happy Birthday Dr. King. You know, whenever your birthday rolls around I often wonder what you would have thought of us, your people today? Would you be proud of us and the progress we've made or would you be disheartened at the fractious nature of the African American community?

You were one of the greatest orators of our time, with a warm voice coupled with impactful words and a building style, you captured the imaginations of a generation. While I may not have completely agreed with your approach in trying to obtain rights for Black and brown people, I have always respected you and the struggle you undertook. You laid the groundwork for us to build on, and despite the things you have been accused of by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, you are nothing but a hero in our eyes.

On the day where you would have seen your 85th birthday had there not been a sick and twisted man hell bent on your destruction, I want you to know that you will never be forgotten for as long as mankind continues to breathe. Thank you for your sacrifice for your people, thank you for all you've done, and may you continue to rest in eternal peace, sir.
