Let’s Remember! Happy 90th Martin Luther King Jr.! Part One

The above image was done by Ms. McLaren’s art club from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. Let’s remember a great man that called for equality of everyone.

“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.”

Martin Luther King JR., I Have a Dream, 1963.

“A Change Is Gonna Come” by Same Cooke

I was born by the river in a little tent

Oh and just like the river I’ve been running ever since

It’s been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will

It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die

Cause I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky

It’s been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go down town

Somebody keep telling me don’t hang around

Its been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother

And I say, “Brother, help me please.”

But he winds up knockin’ me

Back down on my knees

There been times when I thought I couldn’t last for long

But now I think I’m able to carry on

It’s been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will
