Martin Luther King Jr.

Here in the United States of America we celebrate each year the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. He was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. He was born on January 15 1929 so if he were still lived today he would be eighty-nine years old. His life ended short when he was assassinated on April 4, 1968 at the age of thirty-nine.

Above is the most recognized quote that he spoke during the movement. He is admired still today by millions of Americans no matter the color of their skin. He showed us it is not what we look like on the outside it is the person that is inside of us.  Unfortunately his dream hasn’t totally come true yet. Though it is much better than the day he died the answer hasn’t been completed. So whatever you do in life stand up for yourself and are the person that God has called you to be. Don’t let others put you down and don’t believe any negative told you either. So to honor Martin Luther King Jr be that person God has meant you to be. Don’t be afraid to shout it from the mountain top if necessary. Let love dwell in you and for the world to see that love. Amen!
