Reverend Martin Luther King spoke those famous words, "I have a dream."
My pop traveled from Los Angeles to hear them. He was one of those white Methodist ministers standing there in his black robes.

Kudos to Rep. Lewis for a great and rousing speech.

That's very cool Bob. Out of respect I won't talk about loofahs

Seriously, it's a really interesting event and part of a proud time for America.

MLK's "I had a Dream" speech, IMO, is one of the greatest speeches ever given. Even Don Imus, (the notorious "racist") thinks so. He plays the whole speech on his show every year. As many times as I have heard it over the years it never fails to give me goosebumps.

No kidding. The last time I listened to that guy, I felt like I was on a bar stool listening to some slobbering, slurring drunk. Nothing he said made a bit of sense.
