On this day (28 of August) in 1963, about 200, 000 people marched on Washington, D.C., an event that became a high point of the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT , especially remembered for the famous "I Have a Dream" speech of Martin Luther King, Jr. Its exactly 50 years now since that mass protest movement against racial segregation and discrimination i the southern United States that came to National Prominence during the mid- 1950s. This movement was said to have been ignited by the arrest of Rosa Park an African American Civil rights activist whose refusal to relinquish her seat to a white man on a public bus, this first precipitated the 1955 - 1956 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama. Today, as I looked back that l lane owing to the recent events in the annals of history, I have come to the conclusion that there is hope for the hopeless, and that there is justice to the oppressed. With the alarming state of affairs as at then, nobody would had thought a black man would have ever contested for Presidency in the United State, let alone becoming one. No one but God alone can change circumstances of men, no matter how ugly and complex it seems. And that same God who remain thesame, Yesterday! Today! And forever is not asleep what the waves of life is ebbing or tossing you to. He alone can give you that exact courage He gave to Barack Obama. Yes! You can out smart that tough times, just believe in His never changing Grace. For his Grace is sufficient to all.
