Memo To Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. | If You Could Send One, Would You?

Apologies in advance. There is not enough space on these pages to say and celebrate what this day represents. Honestly, personally, words fail me when attempting to adequately recognize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for what he endured and for the living and vibrantly breathing legacy of his life. Words fall short when attempting to express appreciation for the MLK Dream along with everything else he said and accomplished for humanity.

The form would exist with the single intent of providing folks an opportunity to acknowledge that their answer to that huge yet simple ask is indeed a life-defining choice.  However there would be no requirement to give the form to anyone.
