Today is a very special day for so many reasons… We have President Barack Obama being sworn in
for his second term as our First Afro-American President of the United States
and we also celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’d like to say that one man saw the dream and spoke it into
existence, though it tarried, here 50 years later, we as Americans are seeing
the manifestation of the spoken word…
Talk about having faith and seeing the vision in the supernatural, yet
speaking it into the here and now causing “the words” to become life…
As we celebrate another historic event with the inauguration
of President Obama and honor the memories of Dr. King, I encourage us to pay special tribute to the past, acknowledging its effects both negative and positive
on our present, all while contemplating the direction we desire to go as it
relates to humanities future.
We as Americans have what it takes to solve the various problems
that plague our communities and threatens a promising tomorrow for coming
generations. And the only way of truly
solving these problems (in my opinion), will first begin with honestly respecting our cultural differences,
knowing that these same dissimilarities also serve as the bases to understanding
the commonalities we share as human beings...
