Today, the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., has a special feeling to it unlike any MLK day in recent history because today is also the inauguration eve of the first African-American President. I can’t help but think that regardless of our political or religious views, we’ve taken a large step closer to the vision that Dr. King dreamed for this country. On Inauguration Day we will prove to the world that equality for all people is not just an idea, but a truth, evident by the example of Barack Obama. It is an exciting time to be an American and this has to be one of the best birthday gifts Dr. King has ever received.
