Biography
The History and Actual "I Have a Dream Speech"

I think it would be good to take the time to honor him and all others who have fought hard for peace. It would be good to light a candle in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and also to reflect on what you have done to bring peace to yours or others lives as well.

And the glass that surrounds it has his face and some parts of the "I Have a Dream Speech". So I'm gonna light that. ;D

Not doing much else, except studying for my Geom. exam the next day.

Okay, I just wanted to show you guys this candle that I've had in my family for quite some time (the one that I mentioned in my other post). I don't remember exactly how long, but it's very beautiful I lit it this morning after hearing his speech this morning on NPR by the Boys Choir and the Girls choir of New York. One person would say a few lines and then it would trail off as another started so it was very nice.

This is the front of the candle

And this is the back. It has highlights of the "I Have a Dream Speech" .
