Celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. – an influential and inspirational leader, a motivational speaker and figure, and an extremely important part of our history.
Words of Inspiration:
- “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”
- “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
- “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
One could post quotations all day long from this great and motivational speaker. Spend some time today reflecting on the words and wisdom of MLK, Jr.
