This morning I had a wonderful moment with my son. It started when I mentioned to him that he didn't have school next Monday. He asked why not and I replied that it was a holiday. He wondered which holiday it was and so I told him it was Martin Luther King Jr Day. This gave me the chance to explain the story of that great man and what kind of a country the US was back then to people of his race. I was able to explain what a great example he was of love, acceptance and peace towards people who didn't like them. I was able to teach him about how the country began to change and how people learned to think better. It was a moment of pride in my country and the progress we have made as well as a wonderful moment to teach my child acceptance and love for all people. God bless the USA.
