Martin Luther King Convication

I really like Dr. Dobynes speak about the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. It was filled with emotion that was really special to listen to. Dr. Dodynes preached about how Dr. King would want Martin Luther King Day to be a day on, instead of a day off. I learned how Dr. King was a beloved part of the community and was truly a great American patriot. Dr. King believe in an optimistic view of the world that believed that through men and women of goodwill that humanity can better itself, but the world can't make the world a better place by sitting and waiting for it to happen. Hence Dr. King always striving to go beyond barriers that divide us and get out of our comfort zone and purposefully reach out. We want to reach out because at some point, we will want someone to reach out to us. I also learned that Dr. King was not satisfied with mediocrity, and was not satisfied to just get by. I firmly believe that Dr. King stood for justice and equality; he left the legacy of a committed life. The dreamer may be dead, but the dream is still alive.
