Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968
“I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.April 3, 1968, 1 day before he was killed by an assassin's bullet
Tomorrow is the MLK National Holiday, the day when we pause to recognize the contributions of Dr. King to our nation and the world. He showed us all the way towards a more free and just society. The women's rights movement, the gay rights movement and the disabled rights movements among many others all followed the blueprint he laid out for successfully petitioning the hearts of men and women to seek their better selves.
We are not there yet, but as Dr. King reminded us, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it points toward justice."
