Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.<\/p>\n

And what a day it is.\u00a0 Hundreds of thousands decended on The Mall in my fair city — Washington DC — yesterday to celebrate in song the upcoming inauguration of this country’s first African American president.<\/p>\n

What a dream.<\/p>\n

So I ask all JuiceBar readers to do two simple things.\u00a0 It requires no more than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First, take 15 minutes out of your day and go to MLKOnline<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Watch the video of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”\u00a0 If you’re a fan of radio (like me) or short on bandwidth simply close your eyes and click on the audio of his speech.<\/p>\n

Imagine a world of the 1950s … of fire hoses, attack dogs, lynchings.\u00a0 Of beatings.\u00a0 Of hatred and bigotry.<\/p>\n

Now think of today.\u00a0 2009.\u00a0 Today as the generation of Americans that came after the 1950s usher in a new era led by a black president.<\/p>\n

All due in part because one man shared a dream with millions and millions of others, and together they were able to pass that dream on to a new generation.<\/p>\n

Now take another 15 minutes.\u00a0 Write down your dream.\u00a0 Think of the wrongs that need to be righted.\u00a0 Dream of what that world will be like.<\/p>\n

And spend the rest of your life keeping that dream alive and passing it along to the next generation.<\/p>\n
