Before we get to soccer today, let's not forget...
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its
creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident:that all men are created equal." I have a
dream that one day on the redhills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former
slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
I trust everyone has taken a small amount of time out of their days to remember the life and
work of Dr. Martin Luther King. If you haven't, please take a look at the following video, listen
and act. Remember, football/soccer is only a small part of this thing called life. And, as we enter
this new era in both the United States and abroad we all would do well to heed the words of Dr.
Shed A Little Light by James Taylor. The harmonies in the intro still give me chills.
Freedom Highway by The Staple Singers, Dr. King's favorite group. I was originally looking for
Long Walk To D.C., but came across this.
Here's some more Staple Singers, a killer version of Buffalo Springfield's For What It's
Worth.
