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.
