A Few MLK Quotes On A Day To Remember Him

[Vinnie From Indy]

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

"Injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice everywhere"

"Our nettlesome task is to
discover how to organize our strength into compelling power."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and consciencious stupidity." (Remind You Of Anybody?)

PEACE!

2. In his only speech on the Vietnam war . . . .

In a way we were agreeing with Langston Hughes, that black bard of Harlem, who had written earlier:

O, yes, I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath-
America will be!

Now it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of America today can ignore the present war. If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read "Vietnam." It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over. So it is that those of us who are yet determined that "America will be" are led down the path of protest and dissent, working for the health of our land.
