Today I sat down to a really late breakfast of “big rounds” with my 3 boys (a kind of crêpe that my wife’s family makes). I decided to ask them, “Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. is?”
Addison (5 yr old) said: “He wanted to help black people sit in the front of the bus. He wanted to help them drink from the same water fountains.”
I felt kind of proud of my boys until my middle son answered.
Will (8 yr old): “He was assassinated by Abraham Lincoln.”

By the way, I have a HUGE respect for MLKJ. He had such a unique way of presenting the truth in a poetic, deep way.
I love this Martin Luther King Jr. quote…
“We are faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words ‘Too Late’.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
Thank you Martin Luther King Jr. for all that you had the courage to stand for.
