Martin Luther King Jr. was born on this date in 1929.
He was a man who knew how to draw a crowd.
He said:
"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness."
He would have been 91 today.
Thank you for remembering Martin Luther King on his birthday. A true hero of our times.
ReplyDeleteThe bit about altruism reminds me of the discoverers (Banting and Best) of insulin therapy. They waited two years before getting a patent and only got one because,"When the details of the method of preparation are published, anyone would be free to prepare the extract, but no one could secure a profitable monopoly."
ReplyDeleteThey were good men even if their idea didn't work.
We need more people like him!
ReplyDeleteA man of honour and decency. The world needs more of him.
ReplyDeleteA prophet of our age!
ReplyDeleteDied much too young with so much more to accomplish..
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, most of our current political leaders have chosen the destructive path.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that amazing? 91! And he died at just 39. A great man.
