I was three years old when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his last speech; "I've Been to the Mountaintop", on April 3, 1968, the day before his assassination. Dr. King's speeches have given me the inspiration to write about the change what he saw on the mountain top in bringing oneness to the nation. Dr. King's death on April 4, 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN was not in vain because President Elect Barack Obama represents "I Have A Dream" for all Americans. I will continue to write and do my part to help accomplish what the Lord sent Dr. King and President Obama to do. "I Have A Dream" is a lot of Americans dream which came true. On the day of the Inauguration I felt the oneness Dr. Martin Luther King Jr wrote about in his speech "I've been to the Mountaintop". And when I see President Barack Obama, I see Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I find it so incredible Obama and King have accomplished what the Lord sent them out to do. They are my inspirations to help me accomplish what the Lord sent me out to do. All Americans will need to pull themselves up by their coat tails and put on their boots and tie their shoe laces tight, if we want to stay in unity and accomplish what the Lord sent us out to do. So, I pray all Americans continue to stay on one accord to make our new President Barack Obama's transition a smooth one. However, change can only come in America if we change our ways of thinking. And stay on one accord because for where there is unity, there is strength. If we will stay in unity, we will become strong in numbers, and our voices will be heard throughout the United States of America and around the world.

I received my first two recognitions in the year of 2002 by the International Society of Poets and Who's Who In America. June of 2002, I was informed of my nominations as Poet of the Year for 2002. to attend an induction in the United States Capital, Washington, D.C., during the International Society of Poets Summer Convention and Symposium. I did not return the paperwork to the International Society of Poets because my life was not structured like it is now with the resources I have now. March, 2002 I was informed I was being considered for an inclusion in the new edition of Who's Who In America, which was scheduled for publication in November, 2002. I did not return the paperwork because it
