Dear Avery,
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of my favorite people in history to read and learn about. Even as a 10 year old kid, his “I have a dream speech” gave me chills. I read it over and over, and loved listening to it. I wrote reports on him and found myself empathizing with a man that had died 20 years before I was even born. He was that influential. That crucial. That powerful. He was just what the world needed.
It seems as though we have a newcomer to our generation that is also making influential waves. A child of great joy and wonder. A child who uses YouTube as a way to spread goodness and love — much like Dr. King did in his day (minus the internet!). He goes by the name of “Kid President“, and a President (of anything he wants, really) he WILL be.
{I love him. I love him. I love him.}
Take a listen to what he says about Dr. King:
You know I love quotes, so here are some amazing quotes from Dr. King:
Moral of this great story, Aves?
You can be anything you want. You can do anything you want. If you have a dream, see it through. Be the change. Be the good in the world. And above all else, “Decide to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
Show love. Show compassion. Show others that you care. Always.
With love,
Aunt Megs
