The 19th of this month is "Martin Luther King Jr. Day." I'm sure that everyone has heard at least the beginning of his famous quote, "I have a dream…" this famous speech was given on August 28, 1963. He was a Baptist minister, and a civil rights activist. This is only part of the quote, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" This man helped to shape American into what it is today.
