       WASHINGTON ,Jan. 21—“I want to be a builder. I want to build houses and buildings for the homeless,” said Aman Efrem ,a third-grade student from Hearst Elementary in Washington. D.C. For another student, Azalea Westray ,the dream is “that all people stop violence” and “all people love and respect one another.”

       The two were among various answers to the Washington Post’s blank filling to “My dream is…” when Americans observed the Martin Luther King’s Day Monday.

       From Atlanta to Chicago ,memorial services ,forums and rallies are held nationwide Monday to honor the advocate of peaceful resistance and equality for people of all races .

       The Wall Street in New York ,in particular ,kicked off the celebration of the Martin Luther King’s DAY on Friday in an unusual way with the leader of American’s most important civil rights group ,also chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality Roy Innis ringing the opening bell in the morning at the Nasdaq stock exchange.

       Memory of Martin Luther King’s unfulfilled dream adds fuel to the speculation(推测)on the first African American presidential hopeful ,Illinois Senator Barack Obama ,as the 2008 presidential primary will move to South Carolina on Jan. 26, which homes a large black population.

       Obama and two other Democratic presidential candidates ,New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and former North Caroline John Edwards ,Monday turned the memorial events into their campaign stages to persuade the black who accounts for a significant percentage of the total Democratic voters in the state.

       At the rally ,Obama echoed Martin Luther King’s “dream” and called for the end of divisions that he said has damaged the presidential contest. And Clinton, on the other hand, recalled listening to King’s speech in her childhood and reminded voters of his vision of racial equality. “The dream is nowhere fulfilled ,” she said. “Now we are called to rise up ,speak up and finally get it done.”
