wonderful opportunity to discuss what martin luther king jr holiday his birthday means to me with me to others and particularly in this historical context of president b still watch women being trampled upon fire host dog sick people simply because they want to know right to have an education a right to an opportunity a right to go in a restaurant and be treated as a human being growing up all the majority were bigots because when dr king and rosa parks and all of the others streets and started to marchers they were joined by people of all nationalities they were joined by white people who cared who were concerned man it's a history of merican men and women who sought freedom and justice and equality for people that's here into what the founding fathers envisioned this country to be a country of  assured by the us constitution the bill of rights the right of freedom the right to belittle the right to bear arms the right to equal protection under the law the right to a trial by jury the eight no t en bill of rights are your civil liberties those are in the constitution we need a civil rights in this country because a civil right protection against people who would do you harm a civil right is a right that protect women from being discriminated minority from being discriminated by it from being scrim unaided native americans from being discriminated beaten murdered simply because their color happens to be a color of a different color  set the stage of a renewed interest in justice for all freedom for his passage of unprecedented bills to protect the downtrodden whether they be people of gender difference  whether they be poor broken down trodden they are still the american people that's what civil rights mean to me now one of the things that i decided to do i get an invitation to come here and went to the seattle public library and amazingly the douglas truth seattle public library douglas truth has one of the original hardback copies stretch toward freedom by dr martin luther king jr his mississippi he has made it possible for people like me to have an opportunity to go to school get an education to want to help come back and help communities

an online audio displays of these books that people can read all over the world there will be books by dr king and others that they can plug in and see on video clips and other things that  some of the people young people here will be trainee for the world to view and see here from seattle washington which is also just fascinated by seattle being king county in honor of the late reverend dr martin luther king jr and i hope you enjoy it as much as i have and conclusion a few things i really want to pinpoint is that the dream belongs to the young people today we've lived our life we continue to do what we can in a geas is slowly going downhill young people are rising they need to continue to learn new technologies there was a very good example in the connected not the world is no longer a small place it is god i mean a big place that has got really really the small in the very issue a period of time and this is a new century that was deal at the dawning of the twenty first century  there i look for new opportunities and look for new collaboration's i look for new in the job in the connectedness between young people all over the world through these new tools at our disposal for a new understanding for  and i think that young people have to be educated the right way to continue to take these things forward in the end they can communicate with people today that you and i never even imagine and that's the power what this technology origins of our names what makes us exceptional what makes us american is our allegiance to an idea articulated in the declaration made more than two centuries ago to day we continue on a never ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words the realities of our  we made ourselves a new and vowed to move forward together to together we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce schools and colleges to train  protect its people from life's worst hazards and misfortune our celebration of initiative and enterprise our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility these are constants in our character freedoms ultimately requires collective action of the american people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than american soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and malicious no single person can train all the math and science teachers will need to quit our children for the future or build the roads and networks and research labs a will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores no drive diversity and openness an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention my fellow americans we are made for this moment and we will seize it so long as we people understand that our country cannot succeed want to shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make  american will remain the anchor of a strong alliances in every corner of the global we were new those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis problems for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation will support democracy from asia to africa from the americas to the middle east because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom and who we must be a source of hope to the sick marginalized and the victims of prejudice not out of mere charity but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes
