Some of us celebrate this day in remembrance of “The Walk of Equality.” Some in remembrance of a man of God birth, some for a man of God death, and some for a man’s speech: “I have a Dream.” Many of us went farther. We knew that a dream was the spark of one man’s heart that God set ablaze. We knew that God used him as a catalyst for something greater.

I along with many that are still here knew that dreams were not always substantive, but that vision was real. We knew that a vision was a supernatural experience that revealed a Divine truth. A good example, a lot of us are laying around dreaming about and waiting for the ship to come in. However, there are those of us with vision know that the ship is not coming, that you must learn how to swim and go out and bring the ship in. I am one that thank God I am still not dreaming. Soon, very soon we must awaken. Awaken to the reality of having to see above and beyond a certain condition. I find words do not change much when you put God in it. The same words I spoke around the campus of Wayne State in the 60s are still prevalent for this very day. Even during the walk of the back dirt roads of Jackson Mississippi. :) Sometimes I (not only myself) can still awaken in the middle of the night and see the maggot filled out houses. Re: I know it still exist for some.

My dream stopped with Martin and became a vision. That was the reason for the movement, to see what could be and by the grace of God, Shall Be. We would not back up. We were young, ready to die. Imagine yourself coming from war with eggs flying, as if you did wrong. Then having to march for those that did not or could not walk for themselves, and in the midst of it, tells you to “go back home, down here causing trouble for us,” in a language of brokenness you could hardly understand.

You hear barking at night; you may as well get up, men outside with German shepherds waiting for anyone to try and go to the out-house. Some of us cannot dream, it has become a nightmare. But with vision, that belongs to God. You do not have nightmares with vision. Vision always reveals a divine truth. Whatever your celebration of Dr Martin Luther King Jr., let the vision awaken.

I believe if Martin could speak now he would probably say, “You still dreaming? Wake Up.”
