I Have A Dream...

" I have a dream...
I have a dream that one day little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers
I have a dream today."
                                                                                                         ~Martin Luther King, Jr.


Jesus Christ invites all people "to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" (2 Nephi 26:33).

I like to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. day because he was a just man.  He was truly Christlike.  He was a real Christian who was not afraid or ashamed of knowing and telling others what was right and what was totally wrong.  He was and still is a hero.  Tonight for our Family Home Evening we are discussing how important all people are to Heavenly Father and that we are all His children.  I think it is so important for children to grow and learn how to be open to all people of all races.  Prejudice has such a horrible effect on society. I hope I can teach my son how to love everyone regardless of race.

    Merrianne- Thanks! You're sweet! Yeah, those people who say and look at Spencer so rudely are just pure ignorant. Actually there is a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., that says
    "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
    It's one of my favorite quotes!
