The MLK Day Keynote Speech.

This years Key not speaker was Curtis Austin. I thought his speech was very interesting. There were a couple of things I did not realize.

The speech he called will the real Martin Luther King Jr. please stand up focused on the power of people. I thought the message was delivered very well. Well the message focused on what MLK was able to accomplish it called on people to take action and do what they believe is right. The basic answer to his question will the real MLK please stand up is we are all like him. We need to do are part what ever we believe that to be.

Help?

Okay so maybe I just don't get it. Everyone tired to make the connection of President Obama to the movement of MLK today at the program. I see little connection other then the work MLK. With out we for sure would not be were we are today on the issue of discrimination and other such issues. The only connection I see is this. Because in part the work MLK did has Obama were he is today. Is this it or is there more.

I truly want to understand the connection. Let me know your thoughts.
