The dawn of a new era
Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. It is a federal holiday to celebrate this great man , of great mind, purpose, intellect and vision. He would have been 80 yrs old if he was alive today. Tomorrow, the USA will inauguarate a new president. Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the USA. This is amazing …this is HISTORY, this is a new beginning.
I decided to watch ALL the celebrations and commentaries and broadcasts today on television. Wow. DC is electrified with excitement, because this MLK day is unlike the others…it signals the dawn of a new era . No Black person will ever be the same!!! This is because it registers and resisnates at our core. For those of us who remember the Civil Rights Mov’t , and heard any of the impassioned speeches of Dr. King , it means so much . It says and affirms what we have hoped..Black Americans have been part of this country and our voices count. All of America’s people can be glad and be renewed in their higher purposes. Our collective abilities to affect positve change is our reality.
Yes ..so much work to do. So much “centering”, focusing, and collective support for the higher causes and greater good. So much stuff to do!!! Inspiring , however!!!!
I’m excited. I’ll be watching and listening tomorrow . It’s a NEW DAY.
