Me, Grandpa, and Martin Luther King Jr.

For my whole life, the real world and the world of myths was connected through the following picture:



The image of my grandfather, working with MLK as peers...it had a profound impact on me. It showed me that great men were not the creations of story books. But were the very same people as you and me. The picture was a reminder to me of the potential of every one of us.

This is the first year that both the people in the photo are no longer here physically.

Thankfully, the lesson is burned deep in to my core.

May you remember the lives of the giants whose shoulders we stand on. And may you remember your brilliant potential today!
