I especially want young adults to listen and download today’s show. It will help connect the words in the history books with one woman who experienced it first hand.  Everyone knows about the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

An impressive quarter of a million people heard his “I Have A Dream” speech live on the Washington Mall that hot summer day in August 1963. Many more watched with anticipation on television.   The rest have read about it in the history books.

A very young Simma Lieberman was one of the lucky ones who heard the speech live among the crowds on the Washington Mall that fateful day in 63.’ And it proved to be life changing for her and countless others who dreamed of freedom and justice for all Americans.

Simma is my special guest today, and she will help paint the picture of why the King Dream matters as much today as it did almost 50 years ago.

Simma Lieberman is an international diversity and inclusion specialist based in San Francisco.  She has worked with major corporations across the US and her articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Forbes.com.  She is the author of two books, Putting Diversity To Work, How To Successfully Lead a Diverse Workforce and a soon to be released anthology The Diversity Calling, Building Diverse Communities One Story At T Time.

Today we’ll finish up my Top Ten Trends List that I have predicted for 2012 as we look forward to the year ahead. 

We will also pay tribute to the life and legacies of TWO great men in the Civil Rights era: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his closest associate in the movement, Dr. Ralph David Abernathy.  Because of the efforts and sacrifices of both King and Abernathy, women and people of color throughout the United States enjoy the benefits and freedoms of our American society.

We’ll also discuss the upcoming February 2nd Black History Breakfast featuring the widow of Dr. Abernathy, Juanita Jones Abernathy, whose stories, sacrifices, political and social insights will be on full display during the upcoming event. (Please visit www.mssconnect.com for complete ticket and sponsorship information.)

We salute Dr. King’s birthday, Black History Month, and the contributions of those who have risked their lives to make this country better, bolder and more inclusive for ALL people. They are our heros and “sheros” on today’s show.
