We Can Be Heroes

I almost forgot today is Dr. King Day, I felt the need to talk about this on my blog since it a really inspirational part of history and inauguration day is tommorrow, so it's inauguration eve. I wish I didn't have to go to work tommorrow, so I can see the whole thing on tv. But, I will tape it tommorrow, tommorrow is going to be a very historical day for the country. It started with the Civil War, and then Abraham Lincoln help free the slaves, then later Dr. King''s Speech it was the turning point, but it was still not equal, and it's not really equal now, it's just illegal now, because we all have rights now, except people from other countries. But, I know it's 2009, but some of this is still going on, but hopefully things will get better.

I would like to go to the inauguration, I would have been there if I could, but it's going to be just as exciting seeing it on tv. . It was another turning point for this country, in order to unite the nation. Also, Atlanta, GA is a very historical city, that is where Dr. King was born. I remember when I drove to Atlanta, coming back getting off the wrong exit on king blvd. I got off on that street and I don't know where in the world I was, that was one of the scariest times of my life. But, I found my way, on that day. I guess that was just a lucky street
