Dr. King was such an inspiring speaker. I remember I heard him speak when I was young. I believe that Dr. King was a great man. He along with other brave men and women, transformed American society from a fake democracy into one in which all people can participate and achieve. The miraculous aspect of his great work is that he transformed an openly racist culture into one of tolerance almost overnight and led a spiritual transformation of our nation.
I once met Dr. King when I was a teenager. He led a protest/picket campaign against a supermarket chain, in a community where I lived that refused to hire black teenagers as “Bag boys” in its stores. I was one of those teenagers. I met him after a speech he presented at a local movie theater prior to the protest campaign. I got to talk to him one on one. I relive and retell this meeting and conversation in my book, “Talking Penny.” I’ll never forget the words he said to me.

There is no MLK annual cartoon – like Charle Brown – Christmas / Holloween etc and the other holidays. I am trying to make one. FOX has a compitition to make the next Holiday Special. I made one for MLK, Out of 500 entries only 2 were for MLK. See if you son likes it. ( The other people on this blog can comment too )

Hi Matt – thanks for reading our blog.

This quote is from MLK’s “A Christmas Sermon for Peace,” delivered at the Ebenezer Baptist Church and aired on December 24, 1967 by the Canadian Broadcasting Company. You can read the full speech at http://galadriels-home.com/Christmas_Sermon.html.

Hope that helps. Thanks for your interest.
