"Plan your work and work your plan." This quote from Byron Pitts TABJ Banquet speech has proved to be one that fulfills the most unthinkable possibilities. Not only, now in the midst of the celebration of Barack Obama being elected 44th President of the United States of America. But the road that was traveled to get to this historical event. Forty-plus years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr fought to bring justice and equality to a world of disbelievers. He had a plan, better yet a dream. A dream he believed could change the world if excuted properly. His plan was to form a group of dedicated members of the SCLC to fight injustice nonviolently through marches, speeches, and other acts during the Civil Rights
Movement. These acts simply changed America forever today, there aren't any segregated schools, water fountains,or bathrooms. With to this change a slender man with an odd name stepped forth with a plan to make Dr. King's dream a reality and with a few years of successful planning we will witness the dream become a reality TOMORROW! When Barack Obama is sworn in as president and if it hadn't been for Dr. King's dream and Obama's plan for change we wouldn't be watching history take form.
