Happy Martin Luther King Day
My first memory of a current event is sadly to watch the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr on television. I was so shocked by what I saw as I was just a small child. I asked my mother, " Why are people so mean to each other that they kill each other, Mom." And my late mom said at the time, "You are too young to understand. Now go out and play." I think she wanted me to enjoy my innocence and childhood while I still could. Today, I have a day off from work to commemorate Martin Luther King's birthday. For though, he lived a short life, he accomplished great things. He had a dream of equality of all Men and all races that has yet to be fulfilled today. Here on this day, January 18, 2021, we celebrate his birthday. As we remember MLK Jr., let's always remember that Love trumps hate all the way!
