| Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. |
“He wasn’t elected to office,
Not appointed to serve.
The man stood up,
Spoke,
Planned,
Marched for freedom,
Our guide.
That man,
A young man,
Was shot down,
And died.
What he did,
What he said,
Inspired
Peaceful protest
For human rights,
Then legally denied.
Minds closed – opened.
Paths narrow – widened,
Doors shut – opened.
America could be beautiful
For all."
-MLStith
We honor him with a Federal
Holiday,
annually, the third Monday in
January.
Tomorrow his work and his
sacrifice,
with gratitude, will have my attention.
