Black History
In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Words
Education
The function of education...is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menance to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals... We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character--this is the goal of true education.
Excellence
Doors are opening now that were not open
in the past, and the great challenge facing minority groups is to be ready to enter these doors as they open. No greater tragedy can befall minority groups at this hour than allow new opportunities to emerge, without the concomitant preparedness and readiness to meet them.
Whatever your life's work is, do it well...If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music; sweep streets so well that all the host of Heaven and earth will have to pause and say, "Here lived a great street sweeper, who swept his job well."
Hope
Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars. The universe is on the side of justice... There is something in this universe that justifies Carlyle in saying, "No life can live forever." There is something in this universe that justifies James Russell Lowell in saying: Truth forever on the scaffold. Wrong forever on the throne. Yet tha scaffold sways the future. And behind the dim unknown stands God. Within the shadows keeping watch above his own.
Individual Responsibility
A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. The ulitmate measure of a man is not where he stands in moment of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Integration
When I speak of integration, I don't mean a romantic mixing of colors, I mean a real sharing of power and responsibility.
Rise Up
"Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days of challenge to make America what it ought to be."
I Have A Dream
This is the text of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's speech at Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, 1963:
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came the long night of their capiivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still in not free; one hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination; one hundred years later the Negro still in the midst of vast ocean of material prosperity.
