Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is celebrated on Monday, January 20. It is an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing struggle for civil rights, equality, and justice. Rev. King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech was a call for equality. It identified faults and measures that would be needed to make the world a better place. A central theme was the importance of everyone being treated equally and that in order to eradiate poverty people needed a guaranteed reasonable income. To watch Rev. King, Jr.’s speech, please go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP4iY1TtS3s.
