MLK Day
To mark the day, on the international literary website Vulpes Libris, I wrote a review of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. You can read it at=
It was quite intimidating to write about such an iconic speech, it was powerful even just as text.The quotes, references, and metaphors make it poetic and the themes remain inspirational decades later. Though it gained even more depth after such close examination, I still haven't done it complete justice. It's just too overwhelming. But I appreciate it even more now and am glad I celebrated in that way.

Well done.
He was truly an inspiration.
I only wish during the time he made it that I had paid closer attention to it. Good job you did in your review.
