Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration of Life

Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration of Life FEAST

After reading on the blog, Today's Letters, about the couple's tradition of eating Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite meal and watching a documentary about him, I knew that I had to do it.  So, as it is turning out, this new venture of blogging is inspiring me.   Below you will find recipes, a music playlist for while you're cooking and dining, some favorite MLK books and some ideas for a documentary.  And at the end the day, I ask you to ask yourself, as Dr. King so eloquently did back in 1963, What is your dream?
