Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr.’s day in America. We remember his life, his influence, and his impact on the lives of people everywhere. The world would be a much different place without him. Thank you Dr. King for your service and sacrifice. You still inspire us today to overcome and to seek justice for all.

Today there will be several quotes attributed to his civil rights leader that will appear on my blog.

The message of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is to be mindful of the needs of others especially those who suffer from the effects of hate, racism and economic injustice. His call to action through non-violent means remains the same today as it was yesterday. He also said to keep moving forward and that is something we all must do for everyone until everyone is free at last.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
