40th Anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" Speech



Being from NH, I was always proud that we got a mention. Here is an interesting piece from our friends at the Bruderhof Communities:



Bruderhof Communities - Martin Luther King:



"Despite all the hoopla surrounding the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech, it seems that every year King’s real message becomes more obscured. For most Americans he has been reduced to posters and postage stamps, an excuse for a long weekend once a year. But in these days of heightened fear, acute injustice, and daily warmongering, King’s example of nonviolent resistance becomes more relevant than ever before. In fact, unrealistic as it may sound, I believe King’s principle of overcoming enemies with love is the only solution to the problems facing us today, both at home and abroad."
