With today being MLK day and I have been sitting doing school work without the TV going (which I am proud of:) I have to think about who MLK was. I haven't truly thought about it before. I know that he was against racism and racial discrimination, but deeply what was he about.. Did it really have to do with the color of your skin or the depths of your beliefs?
So with research I wanted to bring a little of his thoughts to the forefront:
"Whatever your life's work is, do it well."
“Hate can not drive out hate only love can do that”
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” –Letter from Birmingham Jail
“The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers."
