CELEBRATE!
Martin Luther King JR.
"I suggest
the following to all who really want to know better Martin Luther
King Jr. and the Civil Rights era in America: 1. READ: A Testament of
Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of MLK 2. WATCH: Eyes on
the Prize doc film series about the history of the Civil Rights
Movement 3. LISTEN (AND READ): IN THEIR ENTIRETY to these three
speeches by Dr. King: “I Have A Dream” (1963); “Beyond Vietnam”
(1967); “I've Been to the Mountaintop” (1968) 4. DO SOMETHING
wherever you live in the world to help others, be the change we need
to see. 5. LOVE LOVE LOVE yourself, learn to love yourself in as many
ways as possible, and extend that love to others. We need a world of
love, peace, nonviolence, not hate, war, violence. Finally, be a
bridge-builder, not a bridge-destroyer." —Kevin Powell
