Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.

Living in the Washington DC area, I am close to the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King, Jr gave his famous "I Have a Dream Speech." That speech was delivered on August 28, 1963, yet it reverberates throughout the generations. It's nice to be relatively close to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial near the Tidal Basin. In the past I've taken pictures of the memorial there and wanted to share a couple photos and some of my favorite MLK quotes in honor of him and today being a national holiday for him.



"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness."

"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."

"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable...Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passion concern of dedicated individuals."











Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
