Dr Martin Luther King Jr Day... On the Eve of History in the Making





I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "I Have a Dream"

Without justice, there can be no peace. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Stride Towards Freedom

Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Letter from Birmingham Jail' Why We Can't Wait 1963.
