Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have a dream. Take 17 minutes of your day today to stop and listen one more time to this amazing speech given by Martin Luther King, Jr., Baptist minister, civil rights leader, political activist, Nobel Peace Prize winner. Take 17 minutes to remind yourself that freedom hasn't come easy for everyone.

Although this speech is filled with great quotes, I think my favorite is this one: I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

This is not only a call for freedom, but a call for responsibility. It is a call for all of us to possess character and for that character to be how we are judged. Take 17 minutes today to listen to the call to work together, pray together, and struggle together to see this nation become and remain a great nation.
