So for the sleepy-heads who would rather sleep on a day-off than do something productive, you missed out on a major event on Florida Memorial University campus. The Vice President of the United States Joe Biden spoke at today’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast this morning.
And that wasn’t even the Keynote Speaker!!
The Keynote Speaker was equally as exciting. His name is Rev. Harry S. Wright, a close friend of Dr. King.
Rev. Wright talked about the origins of Dr. King. How did he grow up? Who taught him the ways of the world?
“Martin King” learned the strength of love from his mother and the urgent sense of now and “moral imagination”from “Daddy King” (Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr.)
“Martin King” also learned manners, common sense, civility, how to be a Southern gentleman.
Rev. Wright gave the audience an assignment.
- Strengthen the bond of the black family
- Do all you can do to be the “wind beneath the wings” of black youth
- Stay with the Church; do not outgrow it
I will definitely complete that assignment (even though I think I kind of am already with my job and the use of this blog).
What do you think? How are you building on the dream right now?
