50 years ago today, Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr gave his "I have a dream speech." BBC 4 has put together a recording of the speech by a range of world figures. It's definitely worth a listen.
Looking around the things I see and read of going on around the world, the dream hasn't been fulfilled. People are still separated through colour or creed or background or nationality or poverty. Does that mean the dream is not of relevance; does that mean people should stopped pursuing justice and freedom for all God's people? No. We need a dream - a vision of the future - which keeps us striving for a better world. Even 50 years on, Dr King's speech seems as relevant as ever.
