On August 28, 2001, Gateway, the nation's No. 4 manufacturer of personal computers, said it was laying off 4,700 employees - 25 percent of its global work force - because of an increasingly bleak market.
 
I remember hearing Dr. King's speech and how moved I was. I still get goose bumps to this day

Thanks, Deb.
