He fought tirelessly to change the way our nation viewed race and challenged people to see the injustice in treating people differently based on race. He certainly did not do this alone but I have always admired his charisma, leadership, and speaking abilities. In honor of MLK day I wanted to share a few of my favorite quotes from this incredible person and legendary civil rights activist.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”
“Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress”
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend”
“Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men”
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy”
