Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Life's piano can only produce melodies of brotherhood (and sisterhood) when it is recognized that the black keys are as basic, necessary and beautiful as the white keys.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your self-image should not come from the job you do but from how well you do your job.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is a more excellent way, of love and nonviolent protest.
