Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Today is Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Today we honor a man who's work brought light in a time of darkness. It is hard to imagine living under such conditions. To be treated as less than someone else. Today there are still prejudices that need to be overcome and I hope that some day everyone will be truly equal. As a teacher I get to see first hand that we are not born to hate, we are wired to love each other. At age 2 everyone is friends with everyone regardless of what may make them different on the outside, they are all the same on the inside.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
