Eternally relevant

The words and actions of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the innumerable others who worked so hard alongside him to change this country are, to me, the standard of what sacrifice, integrity, and strength can attain.  The wisdom he gave the world is timeless, applicable to cultures and countries all over the globe.  If only we could say that what he envisaged - true equality, a world focused on giving, kindness, respect, and knowledge, a world free of war - was the norm.  I remain hopeful that the future he dreamed as possible will come to pass, for everyone's sake.
