Thank you, Dr. King, for going away from your prepared notes in front of the Lincoln Memorial 40 years ago today, and telling us all about your dream. Everyone on the planet should stop down and watch a re-broadcast some time today.

Thank you, Dr. King, for sharpening us all. For the conviction. For the inspiration. For the courage. For the vision. For the passion. For reminding us of the check you went there to cash, written by the U.S Constitution. For reminding us of the freedom...

The power of that last word would not be the same without you reminding us of the words of that great Negro spiritual. Words like "not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" are a continuing echo...

Let freedom ring, everyday, everybody.
