Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is celebrated today, Jan. 17, 2016, just two days after he would have turned 87 years old.
It's a great day to revisit the "I Have A Dream" speech he delivered in 1963 in Washington, D.C. to recall his message of "I say to you today, my friends, though, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia son of former slaves and former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of in-justice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transform into an oasis of freedom and justice.'
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream ... I have a dream that one day in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right here in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will he able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."
"This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim 's pride, from every mountain side, let freedom ring.'' And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true letting freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that. Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountain side. Let freedom ring . . . When we allow freedom to ring-when we let it ring from every city and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all (If God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics), will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, Free at last, Great God almighty, "We are free at last."
Although we still have a long way to go before we can sing with true meaning that old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, Free at last, Great God almighty, "We are free at last.", it is good to be a dreamer and Roc-A-Natural's dream is that everyone will be become more health conscious by choosing non-toxic foods as well as drinks to have a healthier body and live longer lives as GOD has designed. I have a dream that we will be free of Cancer, HIV/AIDES, Diabetes, Obesity and Mental Illness. I have a dream that we will live in an environment free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, pesticides and herbicides that causes terminal diseases, harmful foods and skin and hair disorders. I have a dream that organic foods become available and affordable so all nations can enjoy living a natural and healthy lifestyle.
