Description
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
~Martin Luther King
I was fortunate to be raised by parents who could never understand why someone with a permanent tan would be considered inferior by someone who spent their summers trying to acquire a tan.
There is a memorial to Martin Luther King near the Oregon Convention Center across the Willamette river from downtown Portland. While he was not a perfect man it can be properly said that he gave his life for the principle that all of us are created equal.

A fitting tribute for a giant of American history. Thanks for sharing.
I have friends of all colors, They are my friends all the same. :) Content of character, yes.
You've included an outstanding set of photos of these natural looking statues. They are really beautiful. A wonderful collage for today. I too was lucky to be raised by a right-thinking family, and I feel very fortunate for that.
Such a beautiful tribute Mark thanks for sharing it with us.
many faces stare upon the land in thought some are just who knows and others a friend wonderful captures warm hugs, Linda
Perfection is not of this world! But I think that this man has fought a lifetime for a great principle! And you, dear Mark, you had a family right!
He was a great man who fought for his ideals. WITH the humans - FOR the Human!!
Wonderful! Such a powerful memorial to a truly great person.
My wife teaches at a school called Martin Luther King. Superb tribute!! 11+
''I was fortunate to be raised by parents who could never understand why someone with a permanent tan would be considered inferior by someone who spent their summers trying to acquire a tan.'' wysiwig: In the song words of one, Smokey Robinson of MOTOWN fame: "I SECOND that emotion". SUPERB work/narrative!
Awesome! Well done!
