Martin Luther King Day
Monday, January 19, 2009
Today has an extra motivational spirit about it today with tomorrow being Inauguration Day, when Barack Obama will be sworn in as President. It does not matter who you voted for back in November. You should take pride in the accomplishment of this country. Just take a moment to reflect today and tomorrow about the changes this country has undergone in the past few decades.
Is this country perfect? No, of course not. There are still people out there who judge people by their color. These people would be ignorant. Those are the kinds of people we don't need to hear from or have attempt to influence others. While this country has taken great strides in creating an equal environment for all, there are still hurdles that remain.
Today is not just a federal holiday, but a day of reflection on where this country has been and where it is heading.
