Martin Luther King's 

"I have a dream" speech, August 28, 1963

(excerpt)

"(…) I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today. (…)"

the week

This week I leave you two thoughts. 

I'm sure you'll agree with them.

They are both important!

“Curiosity about life in all of its aspects,

I think, is still the secret of great creative people.” 

– Leo Burnett

"Don’t settle for what life gives you; 

make life better and build something.” 

— Ashton Kutcher

                          Human Rights Day

"Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December – the day on which the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights empowers us all. The principles enshrined in the Declaration are as relevant today as they were in 1948.  We need to stand up for our own rights and those of others. We can take action in our own daily lives, to uphold the rights that protect us all and thereby promote the kinship of all human beings. (...)" in https://en.unesco.org/commemorations/humanrightsday

Test you knowledge on Human Rights.

"As we look to the new year, 

hold on to what is good. 

Let go of what is bad. 

It really is that simple."
