Today is a day to remember a man that impacted history and his life was taken so young.
Malcolm X, Evers, Parks are some of the many people we know from the Civil Rights Movement from the sixties. Everyone worked hard to make the world we live in a reality then and helped pave the way for what we live in now.
Being a woman of color, I own the world I live in to those work worked hard and lost their lives fighting for the world that I live in. "I have a dream" is a speak that I look to as a pick me up. I know that today is MLK Day, but today is Civil Rights Day. I love and thank you to all of the men and women, black and white, who worked for this. Thank you for giving me the life that I have now and I am not in a school for either black or white kids, or having to ride the back of bus. Drinking out of different water fountains. My parents wouldn't be married; my life would be in black and white...
Hope everyone had a great day and thought about those who made our lives a reality
