Today, April 4 is the fifty-fourth anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Only the day before he was killed he shared this vision in what would be his last sermon:

“We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop … And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.”

The next day, Dr. King’s life was ended. It was 1968 and he was only 39 years old.

His death shattered many hopes and dreams. But Dr King also left behind a great legacy which lives on to this day.

Most of us ordinary folk won’t leave legacies as large as his, but we all have the opportunity to leave a legacy of some kind. What legacy, if any, do you hope to leave behind? Is it a long-held dream? Or barely fleshed out? Tell us all, but make it thrifty.

Legacy — 50 or 100 words — GO!
