MLK speech was always just a part of history that I grew up with in history books and every MLK day it all just went by me.
But today, on the eve of Barack Obama's Inaguration this speech has taken on a great new meaning. This is why I posted it below. To me this is as good as it gets and I never thought I'd see the day when a black person would be President of the Free World. He will need a great deal of fortitude and faith and all his genius to undertake this great office.
Today and tomorrow we will celebrate this enormous page in history and we will worry about Wednesday when it gets here. Now is the time for celebration and great happiness that no more can we say "The coloured man will never rule" as they said when I was young
