This Holiday Is All About Celebrating Our Freedoms As Americans!

One of the most wonderful things about being an American is that we have this remarkable ability to come to together when it matters most. The 1960's not only changed America for the better, it changed the world just as our forefathers knew establishing the United States of America would literally change the world in the 18th century. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day Holiday is a uniquely American event because it literally demonstrates that everyone in American can have the opportunity to rise above nearly any obstacle regardless of one's gender, one's race, one's religion, one's ethnicity, or one's social class. These are the things that my mother taught my family as we grew up during those exciting and turbulent times when Dr. King was speaking and marching for freedom for all Americans.

It is because of the courage of a few of the Founding Fathers to actually sign their names to the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and later the Constitution of the United States of America in 1787 that this country acknowledged that all men are created equal. However, like anything worth having, freedom would take more than 150 years to begin to become reality. People literally died for the right of each of us to have the freedoms that we enjoy today; and Dr. King and those who worked with him of every race, color, gender and creed are a major reason this country changed for the better for all people.

It is because of Americans of every color of the rainbow that this company has had the opportunity to come to fruition, and why millions of Americans have the opportunity to live the dream that Dr. King often talked about in his speeches and writings. This Martin Luther King Jr. holiday just take a moment to have an attitude of gratitude of being an American an having the opportunity to live your dream. We at Mrs. Webb's encourages each of you to follow your dream as we have in creating Mrs. Webb's Crab Pies and sharing my family's joy with you! Have a great day!
