This man was a beacon of hope for so many people.
He exemplified the power believing in a better world, regardless of any evidence that this would be difficult or impossible.
He showed how powerful it is to stand up for what you believe in, while standing in kindness and the spirit of nonviolence towards those who don't agree.
The video below shows "rarely seen footage of Martin Luther King, Jr., speaking to students at Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia on October 26, 1967, where he delivered his speech "What Is Your Life's Blueprint?" "
In the spirit of MLK day, what is one thing you can stand up for in your own life,
with more conviction,
and with kindness and nonviolence towards anyone who might disagree with you or not see things from your perspective?
