In recognition of the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington DC led by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King we all must consider our part played in making the world better place.

To honor Dr. King and all those who sacrificed their very existence over the centuries it is the responsibility of each and every citizen of the world to improve ourselves, raise our personal standards, set examples for the young, take care of our families and our surroundings and don’t turn a blind eye on wrongdoings. We cannot wait for anyone to do it for us. The lives of our children depend on our performance.
