Dr. Martin Luther King- I Have a Dream, Part 2

Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday has different meanings for different people.  For some it is just a day off from work.  Other people in the nation are touched in a more profound way.  Their conscious begins to reflect on that savage part of America's history, that is sometimes easier to forget.  They think on acts of racism that still cause pain and wonder if racism will ever end. 

African-Americans and Caucasian Americans share a mysterious connection.  They have an understanding between them that is unspoken.  Eyes and gestures demonstrate the pecking order that is to take place.  This order is not based on strength, but color.  Black and white people forget about the other minorities for a moment and quietly run through years of history with the blink of an eye.
