MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY In reading about MLK Jr today, I came across a couple of quotes that I really like. ...the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. (Spoken at the end of the Selma-to-Montgomery march, 1965) ...even menial workers should make enough so they can live and educate their children and buy a home and have the basic necessities of life. (Said at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, 1965) Kings racial equality fight is better known than his economic equality beliefs. In 1967, a year before his death, he was organizing a Poor Peoples Campaign to occupy Washington DC and address poverty. These and other lesser known quotes can be found at the link below.
