Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day and I could not let the day pass without paying homage in some form. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought to ensure that my family, friends, and I would have equal access to all the membership rights granted to U.S. citizens. Who knows where I would be without individuals like him? His guidance and inspiration not only helped the black community but he reminded our nation of the power of love, friendship, service and how to be courageous. His impact still resounds today.
