I thank Dr. King everyday for dramatically altering my life/future!! As a child of the fifties who witnessed segregation and discrimination in the South, I am so grateful for the civil rights movement and Dr. King’s sacrifice, commitment and courage. I would never have had the education, career and achievements I had if not for Dr. King and the movement. Thank you Dr. King!!

The Mountain Top speech gives me chills– it’s as though he foresaw the immediate future for himself…..
Striving for a “Beloved Community” as he advocated should be the legacy we try to make come true (the Dream)….
We cannot stay silent when many of our sisters and brothers in this life are oppressed and suffering so needlessly………………

This should have been in last month newsletter. Personally I admire this man more and more each year. He profoundly understood the human condition. That we all have struggles that need to be rectified. Each human needs to realize their prejudices and failings. Stand tall and help others that are not aware of the need to make inequity vanish.
I have seen injustices happen many times even committed some myself lacking the education and humanity to make the needed change. I have been afraid to rock

In reply to Geraldine Goodin. His words and actions grow more powerful and truthful with time. So fortunate to have MLK Day as a reminder of what we are striving for in America. May we succeed.

At the time of his assassination, I did not realize what a loss to our society his death would be. Now, when I read his words and look at his actions, I realize that he was right. What a tragedy his death was. At the time, I only saw the upheaval, the burning of cities, and thought it wrong. Now, I realize it was a reaction to a tragedy that would effect our country for decades. We need him now more than ever to be a moral voice when many are silent. What turned my blood cold was his statement “Remember that everything Hitler did was legal.” We can’t let that happen here.

Every citizen of the USA and citizens of the world must know that Dr. King was far more than the other speech that we hear all the time.
This indeed is a teachable moment.
Thank you
