Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Martin Luther King Jr.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Living The Dream

Well, we have come a long way since the day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his infamous “I Have a Dream” speech. On that day he spoke of the harsh inequalities suffered by African Americans at the time. Fifty years later many of those inequalities no longer exist, however, there is much more to be done. That is where the people of my generation and generations to come step in. Dr. King laid the foundation and now it’s time for us to keep up the momentum by doing our part to maintain the dream. Today, I am living my dream due to the sacrifices Dr. King as well as other members of the civil rights movement made. Are you living the dream? Let me know how you are living the dream.
