Posted by paul at January 16, 2006 12:29 AMI know little of this man, even less about his situation, his life.
But that little I do know sticks in my mind.
So I would like to join in, and ask other to join with us, in remembrance and celebration of someone who should never be forgotten.
"I have a dream, that one day each man shall be judged, not by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character"

I was not born nor do I live in the same country this man was born and lived within, so perhaps my words Insult, yet I feel obliged to say something in acknowlegement of this mans existance.
