Every year, I try to find new ways to appreciate Dr. King a bit more. Ever since I wrote an article a few years ago at my old newspaper wondering if the younger generation still appreciated him, I wonder if I’m doing enough to keep his message alive.
A week ago, I brought a message to my junior high/high
school kids at youth group on King to help them realize the power of having a
dream. I encouraged them to not just dream, but dream big and put some actions
behind it. Don’t be afraid to evolve your dream but also realize the power of
your thoughts and words.
Too often, we stick to the same narrative on Dr. King and
sometimes those words lose their significance. For me, I want to keep finding
new ways to remain impressed by his words, his actions so that he remains alive
and relevant.
