Being Canadian, Dr. MLK doesnt have the same meaning up here, but obviously his message doesnt change because of a border.
Race relations; and morality in general in Canada are worsening it seems to me. Whether it be Canada's aboriginal people protesting mistreatment by our government, homophobic slurs being hurled at a local college volleyball player by parents, or the bullying of minority students in local high schools, it seems that things are getting worse rather than better.
Arent we supposed to be evolving, growing, learning from our mistakes? Its something I can be guilty of myself, whether it be an off-hand comment or simply turning a blind eye.
I see a man who did so much for others. Reflecting on Dr Martin Luther King's life, for me, means making a personal choice to better myself and those around me as much as I can. And not in the public eye, but in private, in moments of weakness.
