MLK: Ideas Matter

Yesterday, we celebrated the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King is an American hero for many reasons.He set an inspiring example for his nation and indeed, the world. He made his country better by his presence and his work. He was a gifted orator, perhaps among the greatest America has known.

But none of these matter more than the ideas he set forth. It was the content of his speeches that mattered more than the style. It was the water in the vessel, not the vessel itself that made a difference.

Take time to read (or better yet, watch) his "I have a dream" speech. It is not King's thunderous voice or unique cadence that resonates. It is his call to American history. He reaches back to the ideals and foundations of our country to ask America to fulfill the promises set forth in its founding documents.

America heard his call and responded. Happy Birthday MLK!
