"Let freedom ring...when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: ..."Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last"!

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

Oh good one. I need to remember this personally.

We, Negro Americans, sing with all loyal Americans:

My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrim's pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

That's exactly what we mean — from every mountain side, let freedom ring. Not only from the Green Mountains and White Mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire; not only from the Catskills of New York; but from the Ozarks in Arkansas, from the Stone Mountain in Georgia, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia — let it ring not only for the minorities of the United States, but for . . . the disinherited of all the earth — may the Republican Party, under God, from every mountainside, LET FREEDOM RING!

-MLK 1968

Here's an interesting one:

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.
~Martin Luther King Jr.

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
MLK

FYI... do not pull information for this site http://www.martinlutherking.org/ the information is inaccurate and the owner of the site is actually a member of the KKK

This is the site that was involved with the controverse of a unversity student using its information in a resource project, unknowingly, its source.

Interesting. Thanks for the head's up!

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
--Martin Luther King Jr.

As long as we have affirmative action MLK juniors dream is dead.Because we are judging people only by their skin color and not the content of their character.

My thoughts exactly!

It's like some are born to not get it eh?

Ignorance isn't born, it's breed.

So there's really no excuse....

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." MLK

RIGHT ON THE MARK .but I think saying it is like giving pearls to swine .
