Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday!
“Dr. King sought to shine a light of justice against those dark chapters of war, repression & racism.
"“We have an opportunity to make America a better nation,” he said. “All we say to America is, ‘Be true to what you said on paper.’ If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn’t committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
“Every man must decided whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
“When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.”
"It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of white society.”
“A right delayed is a right denied.”
“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”
“A riot is the language of the unheard.”
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
--- MLK quoted SAGE WISDOMS.
“E Pluribus Unum” has long been acknowledged as a de facto national motto. After all, it is on the Great Seal of the United States, which was adopted in 1782.
Out of many, one. = (the motto of the US). = Out of many states, ONE COUNTRY.
This country is for ALL citizens, not just any chosen few!
In any hot war zone worldwide, you accept the fact that your very LIFE depends on others fighting with you.
UNITY MATTERS PATRIOTICALLY.
