There’s a quote usually attributed to the writer Mark Twain that goes, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
Funny thing about that. There’s reason to doubt that Mark Twain ever said this at all, thus, ironically, proving the point.
Either way, it’s Mark Twain’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Mark Twain!

On August 28, 1963, American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his infamous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., in which he states: “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.”
Today, as we honor Dr. King, let us take a moment to reflect upon the contents of this very speech, the progress we’ve made since 1963, and the work we’ve yet to do to end racial discrimination across the globe. The full-length speech can be read here.
