CUI Celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15th, 1929. He was a pivotal advocate for African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
King experienced racism from an early age, and those events stayed with and eventually brought him to a life of activism. After graduating college with a doctorate degree in theology, King became a pastor in Alabama. He began a series of peaceful protests in the south that eventually changed many laws dealing with the equality of African Americans. King gave hundreds of moving speeches across the country, and in 1964 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
On April 4th, 1968, Dr. King was shot and killed while in Memphis, Tennessee. Although his life ended that day, the work that he had accomplished changed the nation. King will be remembered not only for his commitment to the cause of equality for African Americans but also for his profound speeches that moved so many.
Few Quotes by Dr. King:
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.“
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.“
“Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.“
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.“
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?“
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.“
