A step closer to equality.

Today we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr.  a leader of the Civil Rights Movement that helped bring us closer to total equality for all. It is sad that to get this far in a country that declared its independence using the phrase "All men are created equal with certain unalienable Rights" had to suffer years of enslaving people because of the color of their skin, a civil war to free the slaves, years of laws to keep African-Americans down, and denial of rights we should all have all the time. It is a shame this went on but we should not cover it up. We should remember, we should reflect and remain determined to never let this happen again. We should strive to to prevent all types of discrimination be it, racial, ethnic, gender, religious, age, class, sexual preference or any other type of discrimination. We all must continue to take steps closer to equality and remember those who came before, those that gave all.
