Today is the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. He was assassinated but his dream and legacy still lives.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Today is the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His life and his words are very inspiring to me so I thought I’ll share a few quotes from him:

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963

Justice

Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing
justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously
structured dams that block the flow of social progress.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
