I’ve not read much about Martin Luther King, Jr. since I wrote a report on him in school years ago, but while I was reading this book, I realized how unusual it is for a man to be just as much of an inspiration to me as an adult as reading about him was to me as a child.  His “dream” really is timeless and a dream we can all strive for through each generation in efforts to get better and better.  I think the chapter that I most enjoyed was the one that explained how MLK’s dream is a reality now in some ways while still a goal to strive for in other ways.  Amazingly, the life lessons we can learn from him are timeless and fitting for not only generations gone by, but also for current generations as well as ones to come in the future.  When the wisdom a man offers the world is still something special long after his death, you can be assured that the specific advice offered is valuable information.  This book reminds me to persevere in the face of darkness, and even when ones life seems over, it doesn’t have to be forgotten – Martin Luther King, Jr. is a prime example of that.
