I also have a dream…

Forty-five years ago , a notable king stood in front of a quarter of a million people & gave one the most outstanding speeches in American History. He spoke about the pursuit of happiness , overcoming segregation laws. And gave hope to all Americas, all races that one day we will all be able to pray together, struggle together, & stand up for freedom together .

The king I’m referring to was not King David of the bible. Or the famous King Louis XIII of France from the 17th century. I’m talking about Martin Luther King Jr. One of the main leaders of the American civil rights movement. Dr. King was born January 15,1929, throughout his illustrious life work; one of his greatest accomplishments was receiving the noble peace prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-Violent means. Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. At the tender age of 39.

His efforts did not go over looked
His bravery and leadership made the world a better place it is today
He did not fight against injustice and equality for nothing

Dr. King may be the reason why beastie boys were the first white rap group amongst a predominantly all black hip-hop America.

Dr. King may be the reason why a skinny white kid from Detroit Michigan named Eminem has become one of the all time greatest selling musicians in the Hip-Hop community today.

I’m defiantly not trying to say Dr. King is responsible for the way hip-hop is today and defiantly not saying he would be happy with the language in hip-hop.

But what I am trying to say is…Dreams do come true!
Ambition, wisdom, zeal, faith, imagination & Diligence, are only a small piece of the equation for success.


We must seek knowledge,
do our research & open our minds.
The problem we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

We have inadvertently became so focused on our own building
That we have forgotten the foundation that holds it up;
Or in reaping for so long where we have not sown;
Perhaps we have forgotten that need to sow

There is a time to learn and a time to teach
A time to laugh and a time to cry
A time to live and a time to die
Right now it’s time to “listen“, “learn”
Listen twice as much as we talk

I know I’m young I know I’m not perfect
If you were educated enough you would realize no man but god is.
I am not a preacher and I seek no praise
I am just a young man with a dream as well…

I have a dream that one day; more young boys would look up to people like Bob Johnson & Bill gates. In the classrooms instead of on the corner Flippin’ weight.

I have a dream that one day more young girls and young women would strive to be more like Madame C.J Walker. More like Oprah Winfrey. But instead I’m sad to say that is not what I see.

I have a dream that one day I would see more young brother’s going to Harvard or Yale rather than the coffin & Jail.
You can have a education and still be cool.
Matter of fact without one you would be considered a fool.

I have a dream that one day our youth and our own children will grow up with more ambition and more faith than ever. They have to realize it’s harder not to try; than trying and failing. Failure will only make you stronger and wiser.

I have a dream that one day
More youth would dream
More young adults would use their imagination and for the good. For themselves, for their family and for our country
Imagination is everything
It is a preview of life’s coming attraction

This is my dream, our reality, and our future.

God bless
