The Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is difficult to write about Martin Luther King's contribution to American society, or indeed to worldwide society, and not feel as if what you've written in no way does the subject justice. A Titan struggles against the tides of History and lesser men like me observe. History finds you out, and those that change the world withstand the test of time.

What follows is probably one of the greatest speeches ever delivered, an event that added to and changed American political rhetoric in such a way that we are reminded that True Believers can shake the ground, and that dedication to an idea can sometimes carry believers in that idea a long, long way.

A fitting tribute...

It is odd how sometimes the most difficult lesson in Public Speaking is learning when to listen; when it is best to silently observe...

"A Titan struggles against the tides of History and lesser men like me observe. History finds you out, and those that change the world withstand the test of time." Wow!

Josh, you could not have written a more fitting tribute.
