Life isn't worth living until you have found something worth dying for.

Unfortunately, most of the major denominations still practice segregation in local churches, hospitals, schools, and other church institutions.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Segregation is the adultery of an illicit intercourse between injustice and immorality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have no alternative but to protest. For many years we have shown an amazing patience... But we come here tonight to be saved from that patience that makes us patient with anything less than freedom and justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I still have a dream today that one day war will come to an end, that men will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, that nations will no longer rise up against nations, neither will they study war any more.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A second way that oppressed people sometimes deal with oppression is to resort to physical violence and corroding hatred.

The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be... The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
But by all means, keep moving.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
