Happy MLK Day

1. 

1. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
2. “We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.”
3. “Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and nonviolence, when it helps us to see the enemy’s point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition.”
4. “Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.”
5. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
6. “In spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.”
7. “We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself. We will try to persuade with our words, but if our words fail, we will try to persuade with our acts.”
   
   
   
   1. “In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
      
8. Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., American Baptist Minister, led the struggle against racial discrimination in 1960s, inspiring supporters with the power of his rhetoric. He advocated the principle of non-violent protest, affirming that opposition should be tackled with compassion rather than aggression. Born on 15 January 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, he was assassinated on 4 April 1968. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his commitment to non-violent struggle in 1964.

His love for God is what impressed me and the thoughts of freedom and salvation of lost souls. May God have Him in His presence. Amen
