Celebrating A Dreamer and A Doer – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States. He was a minister, a leader, a dreamer, and a civil rights icon. I feel like it’s more important than ever to remember all the things he did and to continue the fight for equality, justice, and love. The people of the world are better because he lived what he preached and made things better for so many. His work continues on in those he influenced. We need that work now more than ever. Thank you, Dr. King, for putting hands and feet to your faith.

Quote Of The Day

We know through painful experience that freedom is never volunteered by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed… justice too long delayed is justice denied.

Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.
