"I have a dream"

On this day, it is important to remember.

To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction. 

Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., The Purpose of Education

"I have a dream..."

Martin Luther King's birthday and a national holiday. Time to watch once again "I have a dream".
