This past
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008, was the birth date of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and
this upcoming Monday (1/21/08) marks the 22nd Anniversary of his/this Federal holiday. Dr. King
paved the way for Peace, Justice, Freedom and equality for all
man.
"I
believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love
will have the final word in reality. This is
why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than
evil triumphant"
From
MLK's Acceptance Speech for Nobel Peace Prize
12/10/64
"Our
lives begin to end the day we become silent about
things that matter."
"There
can be no deep disappointment where there is not
deep love".
From
MLK's Letter while in Birmingham Jail 4/16/63
"Like
an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the
personality and eats away its vital
unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and
his objectivity. It causes
him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the
ugly as beautiful, and to
confuse the true with the false and the false
with the true."
"Hatred
paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred
confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred
darkens life; love illuminates it"
Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
1929 - 1968
U.S. Black
Civil Rights Leader and Clergyman
"We
must learn to live together as brothers or perish
together as fools."
"The
past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that
wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful
tomorrows."
"The
hope of a secure and livable world lies with
disciplined nonconformistswho
are dedicated to justice, peace and
brotherhood."
Above
are Quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
speeches and writings. These Dr. King quotes
reflect what we at Arious believe in and live by
on a daily basis.

Dr. King's
dream has pretty much become a reality, and as you know this was not
easy!!! It is quite obvious
that this country has come a long way, because it seems some
blacks have gained economic ground since the early years of the
civil-rights movement. Many of us now live in gated
communities, and it is a fact that black spending power has
increased to approximately $630+ billion dollars. However,
we still have a long way to go, we are still not equal, and
racism certainly still exists in our everyday life, but we must
try to overcome the injustices and work hard towards changing
things. It's clear that society is certainly more tolerant
and has created opportunities for many of us. I am proud
to see in my lifetime a black man (Chicago IL Senator Barack
Obama) running for President; the Secretary of State Dr. Rice
a black woman who is helping formulate U.S.
foreign policy; Oprah Winfrey who is the first black
woman billionaire; several black actors/actresses winning
Academy Awards; Afro-American Mayors, Governors/Asst. Governors;
Supreme Court Justice; Congressmen & Congresswomen;
Senators; Chief of Police; Golfers; Great Athletes; and Entertainers. The fight is far from being over, and we
certainly have a long way to go, but many of Dr. King's dreams
have been accomplished.
Celebrate and
honor this special day by reflecting on all Dr. King's dreams,
and at all our accomplishments in this society.

You must remember some
time ago Dr. King was memorialized and
honored on the National Mall among many great Americans. Dr.
King's monument is the first on the mall honoring an African
American and its design is based in part on Dr. King's 1963
"I Have A Dream" speech. The monument is
being constructed on
the prestigious land which is located along the edge of the
Tidal Basin on a four-acre plot near the Potomac River (midway
between the monuments of Thomas Jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln).
This Memorial is scheduled
to be opened this year, so let's also celebrate this major
accomplishment along with his birthday. Also, this project
still needs support, so check out their site below for all the
information and how you can support.
