What can you say? Sad, happiness. A change he was. One day, just as he envisioned.
Happy Birthday Dr. King.

A man of his time...
...who gave his life laying the ground work for the Obamas of today.
May his dreams be realized by all. Don "detroitchild" Lang

Quotes and reflection from one man who dreamed ...to share with our children.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr. A lie cannot live. Martin Luther King, Jr. A man can't ride your back unless it's bent. Martin Luther King, Jr. A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan. Martin Luther King, Jr. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. Martin Luther King, Jr. That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality." Martin Luther King, Jr. The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Martin Luther King, Jr. If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive. Martin Luther King, Jr. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Martin Luther King, Jr. Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. Martin Luther King, Jr. I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live. Martin Luther King, Jr. I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law. Martin Luther King, Jr. If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control. Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. Martin Luther King, Jr. I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. Martin Luther King, Jr. I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. 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. Martin Luther King, Jr. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. 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. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' Martin Luther King, Jr. What would our lives be , what would our world be, if one man did not dream? And when he dreamed, it was to most others to dream the impossible dream . Now, this week, in our lifetime, someone else who listened to that dream and has made it a reality. He listened to the sound of change, wiped his eyes, cleared his ears, opened his heart, and moved with passion. This week, yea, this week. And where does he leave to make this happen? He leaves Chicago. Let our world continue to be molded by change, let us move forward towards those red hills of Georgia. Where can we see this happening ? We can see it in CHICAGO. This is happening, let's join in and celebrate together the one man who's sacrifice has changed our world. I was in eighth grade when MLK was shot, a freshman in H.S. when Bobby Kennedy was shot. And I thought the dream was over then. The dream is only beginning. RS
