This day in history: March 19.

I was listening to the radio yesterday morning, while I was getting ready for work. Every week day, the radio station 104.9 broadcasts any major events that took place in history on that particular day. Many of yesterdays mentionings had to do with television. I thought it would be interesting to share some of them.

• In 1928, Amos and Andy, formally known as Sam and Henry, became a national hit.
• In 1953, the Academy Awards were aired on television for the first time. NBC paid $100,000 for the rights to broadcast it on TV and radio.
• In 1977, the last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show was aired.
• In 1979, the US House of Representative began televising its day-to-day business.

I just thought that some of these events were very interesting, and fairly significant in the history of television.

I Have A Dream

Martin Luther King possessed so many qualities that are currently void in our world. Today, an intense amount of individualism exists. MLK cared about everyone, despite their race or background. He cared about others more then he ever cared about himself.
In MLK's speech, "I Have A Dream", he speaks with such dignity and strength. He touches kindly the hardships his race has experienced. Through watching his speech, one cannot help but feel the words radiate through the audience and move those actively listening to his words. It is evident through watching his speak, that his words effect the audience emotionally and physically.
It is difficult to oversee MLK's focus in the words of his speech. This speech has all different kinds of meanings for all different kinds of people. It is evident through watching this speech, that the grater expressions are creating the hope, vision, mission, and the will to change oneself.
MLK was a man full of love. It was inevitable that he was so influential at spreading his love to others. Our world rejects love far too much, and it is sad, in this case, that it cost MLK his life.
Before MLK left this world, he opened so many eyes to a world without segregation. I hope he is able to see what he has done for out country now.
