My supervisor asked the group that contained only three African Americans the following.... Does anyone celebrate Martin Luther King Day? The others answered No, not really... I butted in quickly stating Yes, I do I normally do volunteer work or something in my community as a mode of celebration. I was embarrassed by the others statements. Not to mention that Martin Luther King, Jr. was such a great man and frat., he is the only Nationally recognized African American with a holiday. Come on now.... Why? Why? Make such statements without even thinking of the impact. Let's work in our communities and celebrate this holiday so that maybe one day the appreciation of African Americans accomplishments and contributions are celebrated throughout the WORLD!! Let's love ourselves for being such EXEMPLARY PEOPLE throughout the YEAR!!! Let's celebrate those that have contributed to the state of our eased PAINS with CIVIL LIBERTIES in hopes that one day we will have no pain at all due discriminations!!!
