"Believe in yourself. Believe you are somebody. Nobody else can do this for us. We must move into our inner soul and sign our own emancipation proclamation. Be proud of your heritage. We don't have anything to be ashamed of. Somebody told a lie one day and made everything Black ugly and evil … something degrading or sinister. Let's get the language right so everyone here may cry out: 'Yes I'm black and I'm proud and beautiful."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one
of the greatest orators and speech writers.
I'm happy his birthday is honored every year giving people the
opportunity to revisit his words.

I'm covered in goosebumps every time I hear one of his speeches. Today is a great day. :-)
