I’ll never forget the time I was cornered in the bathroom between the stall door and the one I fear most‚ Jacob. He approached me with a smirk on his face. I had nowhere to run or hide. Jacob slammed me against the stall door with great force and blood began gushing from my head as I dropped to the tile floor of the bathroom.

Dr. Martin Luther King‚ Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have A Dream” speech on August 28‚ 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington‚ D.C. in front of millions of citizens.
