Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech on August 28, 1963. A few of his dreams were: “his little 4 children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character; sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down at the table of brotherhood; little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. Some of his dreams have partially come to fruition and others are still progressing.
Martin Luther King Jr’s. “I’ve been to the Mountaintop” speech was delivered on April 3, 1968 and he was assassinated on April 4, 1968. In his speech, I see the current state of AMERICA. The WORLD is all messed up. Our NATION is sick. Trouble is in the LAND. CONFUSION is all around us.
When we see injustice, we have to speak up against injustice. We have to have the courage to change the systems that are against us. Some doors will not be opened to you because of your blackness but, we have to kick those doors down to get in and make changes. We are determined to be a people who demand their right place in AMERICA. The days of rhetoric and lip service is over.
Are we committed to change? Are we committed to political change? Are we committed to economical change? We need more VOICELESS people engaged in the political policies.
The Old Negro Spiritual lyrics: “Free at last, Free at last, thank God Almighty were free at last. We can only be free when we have ECONOMICAL FREEDOM AND POLITICAL FREEDOM. We must continue to work together. Things get better when we get involved in our COMMUNITIES.
Honor Martin Luther King’s dream by honoring your dream.

I’m so glad I came across this blog. Driving through the neighborhood in which I grew up was bittersweet because it no longer looks like a neighborhood. There are abandoned buildings and houses, vacant lots so, where we lived and where I spent my childhood looks like a ghost town now. I remember the neighbors I use to know and the children I used the play with and the schools I went to growing up in that neighborhood. There were black owned businesses in my neighborhood not any more. I know the importance of economic freedom because I grew up in it and learned from it as well. I remember the years Detroit saw under Mayor Young good and bad. The good was his stance about police brutality against his people and the prejudice experienced from the suburbs. He was outspoken and not afraid giving his constituents that same bravado. We are a dynamic, powerful people it is time we now show the rest of the world who we are. This is my dream.

I agree with you. Our neighborhoods have changed drastically and we need to make sure our children and their children know that they come from a PROUD people.

Blessed be God! The Creator of Everyrhing Good! I grew up with parents as black successful business owners and Bishop and Mothe in the Ministry of God who had a heart of giving and sharing in many communities!!! In this 21st Century and with the way our economy has taken a turn, I have created a legacy for my family and we help other families create a legacy of health and wealth freeing them and their love ones from physical and financial pain. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. had a dream for our people as many of our ancestors did. The main dream is to get our babies, young adults, older adults and the elderly out of situations and outcomes that do not serve them. My team and I help this to be possible by solution based.
Continued Blessings!!!
