This is such an awesome tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a compilation of artists from different genres, backgrounds, & cultures. It is symbolic of the unity of a world filled with all these differences 2 come on one accord 4 the common good of all of mankind - God's creations. I purposely play this song as if it is new all over again every year. Thanks everyone! Many that participated have gone & others have endured some real hardships, but God is able to make all grace abound to u!
