Tweeted! Thanks for supporting Special Olympics!
Such a beautiful and inspiring montage to those persons that have inspired greatness. One of my favorites is Martin Luther King Jr, who was lost too young, and although he did great things while alive has done a lot more since his passing as we honor him every year. Who knows what could have been accomplished had he not been taken from us prematurely.

While I am not a sport fan I like the inspirational words on the Mohammad Ali mural.
Martin Luther king Jr. he is the best.
Muhammed Ali, still "The Greatest", not just for his athletic achievements, but his strength of character. Exactly what Special Olympics edifies.
