No longer just a dream

The Huntington Beach Independent went to Spring View Middle School

to ask seventh- and eighth-graders, ‘What does Martin Luther King Jr.

Day mean to you?’

“I know everybody dreams, but he dreamt for the whole world. ...

He tried to make a difference.”

“I think it’s a great day to celebrate because if it wasn’t for

him, I wouldn’t even be in this school.”

“I think about who the person was. ... he was a man that tried to

make peace. I admire his ideas and his intentions.”
