Still Celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday January 20, 2004March 25, 2012 I’m taking today off, too. “If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.'” — Martin Luther King, Jr. I love that quote.
