Today as I thought about Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday 80 years ago today I recalled the words the words of Abraham Lincoln when, at Gettysburg, he talked about it being up to us to carry on the great work that others had begun. Later in the morning at work as I talked with kids about King's message we were coloring pictures of him. One child said "I'm going to color him all colors because I think he'd like that". And I thought so too.
