Living the dream

MOSES LAKE — Forty-eight years, 585 months, 2,545 weeks, and 17,819 days have passed since Martin Luther King Jr. had his life tragically cut short on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tenn. Despite the time that has passed since his death, King’s dream of a peace and equality for all people still lives on and is just as relevant today as it was during his lifetime. That dream and the life of the man who fought to see it become a reality was celebrated Monday night in the Moses Lake Civic Center Auditorium.
