Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day many people have the day off but forget the purpose. Martin Luther King's life purpose was to ensure equality and opportunity amongst all races. I have a dream was the speech,many can quote it but putting action and passion behind those words made them memorable. If Martin Luther King would be alive do you think he would be proud of the state of our nation. He never got to see his dream carried out, but the people elected our first african-american President which demonstrated that in fact we have come far. However, recent events not only within the african-american community exemplify that we still have a way to go. Hatred and violence is crippling our nation Martin Luther King believed that the only way to overcome hatred was to oppress hate with love. I encourage you to take this day off to either help someone move one step closer to their dream or just simply, LOVE.
Here are a few of my favorite quotes from a wise man:
"Faith is taking the first step,even when you don't see the whole staircase"- Martin Luther King Jr.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter"- Marting Luther King Jr.
"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live"- Martin Luther King Jr.
