Special Episode: Tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This show is a special tribute to the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  As our nation, celebrates and honors a man of courage, conviction, leadership, and faith with his own national holiday, we are observing the sacrifice and commitment of him on Monday, Januray 19, 2015.  This is a profund accomplishment that our nation is giving such recognition to a man who was fighting for social justice and equality that sometimes was against the system of this country.

In Dr. King's short life of being born on January 15, 1929 and died on April 4, 1968, he only lived 39 years.  However, in that relative short time he made a lasting impression not just in America, but around the world as he was influenced by the teachings of Jesus Christ and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi."  During the 1950s-1960s, Dr. King stood up for the voiceless and the underrepresented minority groups in America with the Noviolent, Civil Rights Movement.

He is most known for his "I Have a Dream" speech, yet I believe that speech was more than a speech in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963, it was a prophetic vision and declaration of what God has allowed him to see.  This is just as the biblical character Moses from the Holy Bible going up Mt. Sinai to show him the promised land for the children of Israel.

Once again as we celebrate the selfless life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I ask what are you willing to fight for, what cause or group of people are you passionate about in making a difference.  It does take a group of people to make a difference, but it takes one person to begin a movement in fighting for social justice, equality, peace, and unity.
