I Had A Dream

Two things, and then I will tie them together:

First:" Tens of thousands of people are descending on Washington's National Mall today 8/28/13) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and the March on Washington that took place half a century ago. President Obama will address the crowd this afternoon from the Lincoln Memorial."

Second: "Liberia's education minister says she finds it hard to believe that not a single candidate passed this year's university admission exam. Nearly 25,000 school-leavers failed the test for admission to the University of Liberia, one of two state-run universities... Students told him the result was unbelievable and their dreams had been shattered, our reporter says."  You remember Leberia don't you?  It was established by citizens of the United States as a colony for former African American slaves. It is one of only two sovereign states in the world that were started by citizens of a political power as a colony for former slaves of the same political power: Sierra Leone was begun as a colony for resettlement of Black Loyalists and poor blacks from England for the same purpose by Britain.

The tie in:  A dream without work and effort will get you nowheres as the Liberiaions have just found out , and as have the millions of American black living on welfare.
