Today across the country there are ceremonies and commemorations honoring the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ours in Norwich at City Hall starts at a quarter past one this afternoon with some speeching, a little preaching (I suspect, having attended this every year for the better part of a decade) as well as singing followed by a march to Evans Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church for warming words on what is historically a typical New England winter's day and then we'll all go home, back to the lives we lead and the people we are.
I hope this year, unlike others before it, across this country, we can seize a moment from whatever we are doing today to celebrate the dream of Dr. King, make it our own and keep it in our hearts.
