Most of my generation was not born during the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movements which took place. But the one thing I will tell you is that the we can all thank Martin Luther King Jr. for is a voice. He gave a voice to those who had not had one in this country for several decades, even centuries. His "I Have a Dream" speech inspired millions and brought about the Civil Rights Act which President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law. And although historians argue and debate today about Kings message being lost among that single speech, arguing that children only remember him because of it we all still remember him for his courage, his faith, and his leadership in what was one of our nation's hardest moments in history.
