The True Meaning Of Its Creed...


Self-evident!


"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 [and women] are created equal."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

March on Washington:

* "It's difficult for someone these days to understand what is was like, to suddenly have a ray of light in the dark."
*  "The crowd was enormous.  Kind of like the feeling you get when a thunderstorm is coming..."
* "We are here because a woman by the name of Rosa Parks stood up in the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, walked down to the front, and..."

"Walk down to the front" in life and you just might be surprised who goes with you...
