Happy MLK Day: Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Saturday, January 15, 2011 would have been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 82nd birthday
An excerpt from one of my favorite Dr. King speeches, The Drum Major Instinct:

Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice; say that I was a drum major for peace; I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won’t have any money to leave behind. I won’t have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that’s all I want to say.”-Martin Luther King Jr.
