The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.

History

As i sit here on the cusp of history. I find myself welling up with a vast range of emotions. To just sit and think, really think about how far my people have come; i feel an unadulterated gratefulness and am left in awe. I sat in my car and listened to an interview with the Reverend Joseph Lowery, and earlier today listened to a great piece on an urban radio station, it was Ray Charles "America the Beautiful" with clips the "I have a Dream" speech and sound bites taken during the 2008  election.  So on this Martin Luther King Jr. day, i post this speech, such a timely and timeless speech, delivered some 40 plus years ago. Greatness is not made, it rises up when we need it most.
