In this historic year, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day uncannily falls on the day before we inaugurate America’s first African-American president.  On August 28, 1963, Dr. King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.  In another interesting twist of fate, on the same exact day 45 years later, the Democratic Party officially became the first major American political party to nominate an African-American (or anyone with a minority background, for that matter) candidate for President. And on November 4, 2008, in what many called a realization of Dr. King’s dream, Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States.
