Today is a significant day in American History: The 50 year Anniversary of the Civil Rights "March on Washington" which was commemorated by Martin Luther King, Jr in his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
This powerful speech is as relevant today as it was then and continues to be a personal reminder of how far we have come, but also how far we have to go toward achieving Dr. King's Dream in both the U.S. and internationally.
Many of our international students may not realize that MLK was born here in Atlanta in 1929. He and his wife Corretta Scott King were also buried here. You can visit the MLK National Historic Site in Downtown Atlanta and explore our culture's struggle for equality and justice.
