Some quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.....
.Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige and even his life for the welfare of others.
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
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.
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every tenement 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 spiritual, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
-- "I Have a Dream" speech, August 28, 1963
