The dream for racial equality goes back centuries. In American history, however, its biggest moment was perhaps only decades ago.
Wednesday marked the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech.
A few NBA players took to Twitter to recognize the moment in history.
Remembering the sacrifices of MLK!

Historically, Dr. King’s speech may be one of the most important discourses to have been orated publicly.
Let us all continue to strive for equality, not just among races, but among all kinds people.
