| |
|
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his life working to make his ideas come true. In a famous speech called "I have a dream," he said that all people, no matter the color of their skin, should be treated equally. Some people hated the Rev. Dr. because of his dream. But he focused on his goal of equality and would not change his mind. He showed STEADFASTNESS as he marched peacefully and encouraged others, even children, to help his dream come true.
Quotes:
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
"When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man."
