Congressman John Lewis passed away and will leave a huge hole in the United States Congress. Although I didn’t agree with his politics, he was one of the many individuals that stood along Martin Luther King, Jr., during America’s Civil Rights Movement. Rest in peace, sir.
Until next time…

Today, we celebrate the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Here is one of his most memorable speeches, labeled by many as the “I have a dream.” If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend it, as it encapsulates what his goals were as the premier civil rights leader in the 1960s.
If your employer recognizes today as a holiday, enjoy your day off. Take a few moments to think about how far our country has come. As most will say, we have come a long way, but have so much more to do, to truly reach a society that is “color blind”.
Until next time…
