MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY
I realize that it will cause restless nights sometime. It might cause losing a job; it will cause suffering and sacrifice. It might even cause physical death for some. But if physical death is the price that some must pay to free their children from a permanent life of psychological death, then nothing can be more Christian. Keep going today. Keep moving amid every obstacle. Keep moving amid every mountain of opposition. If you will do that with dignity, when the history books are written in the future, the historians will have to look back and say, ‘There lived a great people. A people with ‘fleecy locks and black complexion,’ but a people who injected new meaning into the veins of civilization; a people which stood up with dignity and honour and saved Western civilization in her darkest hour; a people that gave new integrity and a new dimension of love to our civilization. When that happens, “the morning stars will sing together, and the sons of God will shout for joy.”
