Martin Luther King Jr. had a very important dream — and his dream changed the world. He believed that everyone, no matter their skin color, should be treated equally, and it was this vision that inspired and mobilized millions of people to try to right the wrongs of history. Dr. King’s dream is one we continue to keep alive as we celebrate the life and legacy of the civil rights leader, each and every single year.
