It's 1/19/2014 here in the U.S.
Tomorrow is a nationally celebrated holiday. Some of us take the day off. Our government offices, banks, and many other businesses observe it's historical impact. Tomorrow is MLK's birthday.
Most Americans have no idea of who Martin Luther King really was or what he stood for. To me, he's an icon that deserves praise, admiration, and respect for his accomplishments.
He lost his life while fighting for what he believed in. That's an admirable quality in my opinion.
Yes, I may appear to be a "Rural Northern California Hillbilly Redneck" at times. That last statement "couldn't be further from the truth".
Kindness, respect, and a dream, always carry a great deal of weight here on EC. Admiration goes beyond local, regional, or political boundaries.

I have read about him in my childhood.
Anyway, that's intresting it's an off day!
I like Martin Luther King. His speech is famous even in Japan. He fought racism.
I like a rock band U2. They sang a song about Martin Luther King. The song is "Pride`.

Thank you for the comments Expector Smith and noaslpls. Thery're greatly appreciated.:)
He's one of the most iconic figure. His "I have a dream" sounds so simple, but it's one the most powerful statement ever.
Thanks for reminding us about the holiday and Martin Luther King who said "I have a dream." - I don't really know there is such a holiday, though.
