Today is a special day, because it's in celebration of a man who fought and died, with countless others - so that I could be and do what I'm doing today!
To those people, I say Thank You!
Whether you recognize his fight or not - it can be applied to everyone because persecution is the common thread that bonds us all together. In his speech - he says that we all must walk together and no man can stand on his own. No-one exists in a vacuum. One fight is everyone's fight.
I don't care whether you are black or white, Jewish or Catholic, straight or gay - there is someone, somewhere - in all of us - who fought, suffered, and died so that we are able to live. There are also people out there today who are still fighting - and dying.
So, it's to all those people - past, present and future - that I say Thank You!
Also, to a single man, who had the courage and fortitude - with his words - to not only inspire a people, but also a nation - and a world.
I say - Thank You! From the bottom of my heart.
In dedication to you and the countless others...
Free at last - free at last - thank God Almighty! We're free at last!
