I have a dream today. - Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28, 1963.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator will inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. - Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence. In Congress, July 4th, 1776.

I would be honored to hang it in my home! I hope I win!! Thanks for celebrating Martin Luther King on his well deserved, long fought for holiday.
I did not win those cat slippers, but maybe, just maybe.... :)
I have a dream, a dream to win, a dream to lose with grace.
Love it...
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is just too great a burden to bear." MLK The giveaway is great, thanks as always!
What a beautiful poster!
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

I will put this in my classroom. xo
throw me in the pot...
That beautiful piece of art is something I would be honored to hang on my wall in a prominent spot!!! Love this!
That's really beautiful.
I have a dream....only it is for the disabled folks among us. If I own this I'd hang it at the local AID (Association for Individual Development) center (where I hope there will be space for my son with autism when he ages out of public school next year.)
Women's rights.....Civil Rights.....now rights for Gay/Lesbians and for the disabled! There will always be someone who needs a dream fulfilled!
PS if this posted twice, please delete one. I did not see it go through the first time. My computer hates me :-(
This will be prominently displayed in my home.
Was able to see the MLK memorial in DC last November, so inspiring.
Would love to have that poster. It's easy to forget the struggles of only a few decades ago, and we need a reminder.
How beautiful! I would love to hang that in my home!
Beautiful item for a give-away!
Husband and I watched The Help yesterday. Beautiful movie. And this is a beautiful poster.
Lovely - this would make a great gift - all framed up - to my local high school.....
I would love to hang this in my office once I get my license to therapatize!
Thanks for the chance, Mrs. G. Love it!
Nice!
Awesome!
So beautiful! Thanks, Mrs. G.
Love it!
I know exactly who I would give this to. My friends mom, Miss Thomi, is a beautiful woman who gives so much of herself to others that I want her to know how much we love her.
Thats who would get this....
Wonderful item for a give-away!
@ Jessie - Theraptize - hahahaha. Love it.
Inspiring words that ring down the generation and should my Antipodean bones be picked from the pot I would love to have this sent to the gorgeous Debbie K out in Japan.
Love it!
That is absolutely awesome!
What a great idea and beautiful execution. Such powerful words....the truth.
The artwork is really beautiful ... I grew up in Atlanta and went with my Dad to MLK's funeral. We parked about a 1/2 mile from Ebenezer and waited for the procession to pass by us so that we could join in. I will never, ever forget the sight of that mule-pulled wagon coming over a hill with thousands upon thousands of mourners following. We walked the three and a half miles through the streets of Atlanta to Morehouse College in virtual silence ...
"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important. " MLK Jr.
This is beautiful, Mrs. G.
Hoo-ee that man could make words sing, couldn't he? I just wish more people hadn't stopped listening...
That's a really beautiful poster.
I love this.....I adore the declaration of independence and MLK speech......love this
Wow....the best of both. It's an awesome meld of the two
Thank you Mrs. G! It is lovely.
Thanks, Mrs. G! I would love to hang this in my home and share it with my kids.
A truly beautiful piece of art. Makes me appreciate that I tried to explain MLK and his cause to my 6 year old yesterday, as to why she had the day off from school and why there was no mail delivery!
What a beautiful poster!
Gorgeous.
Love it.
I love it!
That is beautiful! I'm so happy I browsed my way back over to Derfwad Manor today after a few months away!
