As a special Chocolate Pages show, I wanted to give tribute to the person that impacted me the most and inspires my life - Dr. King. I was only 8 when he was killed - but I still remember it like it was yesterday.

This speech by the late, great Dr. Martin Luther King is the most remembered speech in history. It was prophetic too. Because dreams don't have an expiration date!

Look at 2010 - the U.S. has the first African American President. WOW.

Words shape our world.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King you will live forever in our hearts!
