I have a Dream
I have a dream that grown men will stop beating on our mothers.
I have a dream that people will stomp out tobbaco and all of them get jobs.
I have a dream that people will stop killing or hurting each other.
I have a dream that it won’t be prejudice in schools, neighborhoods, jobs, and out in the streets.
I have a dream that they will stop child abuse.
Those are my dreams. I want everyone to get in the habit of doing or believing in their dream. I hope these dreams will take over the world.

“In 1967, Dr. King spoke to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference about the concept of “divine dissatisfaction”—that we should not rest and should not be satisfied until justice has come for every single person in America. In that spirit, then, let us continue to be dissatisfied—until that day when every child is able to fulfill her or his destiny, to learn, to thrive, and to assume the mantle of leadership in their time.”

“Myth #1: Anger is unhealthy and you should strive to be happy all the time.
Anger can actually be a very healthy emotion. It can help energize you to take action when coping with stress, defend your self-esteem, and help you motivate yourself to get out of a bad situation. Even people like Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King, Jr. got angry. Martin Luther King, Jr. used his anger to promote social change and equality for all.”
