"...a lonely island of poverty in a vast sea of material prosperity."

It's an revealing moment to think about Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in light of the disaster of Haiti. It's "I Have a Dream" writ large. For all the progress we've made, there is, of course, progress yet to be made, and it isn't far off our borders.

If you haven't had a chance to make a donation to help out, let me offer you the chance.

And with that, take a moment and enjoy this speech. Take something from it.

"We cannot walk alone."
