again this year

I posted this in my journal last year and I think it's still applicable this year so here we go

Dear Martin Luther King Jr.-

Thank you for having a dream. Thank you for being the voice of so many others who were too afraid to speak (or voices were silenced). Thank you for showing us what an incredible difference one person can make.

I’m sorry that you had to suffer the same fate that most freedom fighters do.
I’m sorry that even today, 37 years after your death, African Americans are still one of the largest marginalized groups in the United States. I'm sorry that some people view you as a criminal.

I urge everyone to stand up against racial, economical, political, social and religious injustice not only today, but everyday.
Together we stand, divided we fall.

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance." -John Lennon
