Today, Martin Luther King Jr Day this year, feels very different from others. Tomorrow America will welcome its very first black president into the office. I cry like a baby every single time I listen or read this famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr. Today it’s no different, but the tears come down with much more hope. No, not because it was our president elect’s campaign slogan or he wrote a book about it or do I expect any substantial change in American politics or economy any time soon. It’s because the Americans who are reconciled with the fundamental human decency, that decency the founding fathers of this country proclaimed as the foundation for establishing this great nation, the belief that all men are created equal, are now majority.

Yes, I am hopeful. Now we are getting somewhere. Maybe, just maybe, we will learn to love and cherish our fellow inhabitants of this world before we destroy it completely. I have a dream.
