Today is a Great Day, the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birhday. The Civil Rights Movement leader and inspirator in America. The one who, against all odds, changed the course of history for millions of African Americans or simply Americans. His actions, the way their were conducted and the outcome that resulted are a source of pride and inspiration for the whole humanity.
Today, after a look back 45 years after his assassination, we still have a long way to go to get to the "Dream" of Dr. King. Behaviors form both sides of the issue, I mean Blacks and Whites, in spite enormeous efforts made are still short to cut from the past.
Fortunately, the new generation; less exposed to the, now far, issues of open racism, institutional segregation or discrimination by law, tends to live across the line of divide unlike the older generations. The time is playing its role, but People need to keep that Dream alive by acting upon it and transmitting the good message of love, peace and mutual acceptance.
