Happy Birthday To Ya

Posted by Deutlich on January 15th, 2010 | Filed under: Uncategorized

Dr. King,

I just wanted to say thanks. Without your determination and sheer will, the civil rights movement couldn’t have been the same. It’s people like you that paved the road for people like me to lead a fulfilling life. Frankly, if it weren’t for the movement, I may never have been born. 14 years before my birth it was still illegal for interracial couples to get married in my state. And, well, I’m a product of an interracial marriage.

Anyway, this wasn’t meant to be long. I just wanted to say thank you. And wish you a very happy birthday.

    I thought Martin Luther King was born on January 18?
    Ah well, happy birthday anyways! May your message carry on in the fight for equality not only for all races, but all orientations, genders and abilities. :)
