Take time to pause and reflect! This Blog is dedicated to the Caribbean Region with special emphasis on Trinidad and Tobago. However, there comes a time when we need to take some time from our busy schedules to pause and reflect on a very important issue or about someone who had a profound effect on our lives or the lives of many in a country or the world. Today is one of those days that we take some time to show respect to one of the great ones. Martin Luther King Jr. born Michael Luther King significantly had a great impact on the soul of the American way of life with major emphasis on the lives of Black Americans and the manner in which the rest of the society viewed their status. Dr. King at the age of 35 received the Nobel Peace Prize with the prize money donated to the Civil Rights Movement – he was indeed a man of honor. Dr. King, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee was assassinated on the evening of April 4, 1968. His most famous speech, "I Have a Dream", is known around the world. A link to the speech with video is provided here for those who have never had the opportunity to hear it in its entirety.
