At an ice skating rink in the city, the gift of MLK’s work and dedication to equal rights for cannot be more evident than in the diversity of the skaters. Black, white, Latino – a beautiful rainbow of colors all bundled up in winter gear. Families, couples, adults and kids of all backgrounds just having fun.
I know that MLK wasn’t the only one who battled for all people. There were many more like him who challenged the traditional way of life to make it more inclusive. To allow all people equal footing for opportunities such as ice skating together.
To MLK and all of the people part of the early days of civil rights and those who continue to work for the benefit of people of all races, backgrounds and faiths – I thank you and salute you. Remember, that the gift of MLK is bigger than anything we could ever imagine. Because now we can skate freely, together and as one.
Happy Birthday Martin Luther King, Jr and thank you.
