There are so many reasons why Dr. King personally inspires me. I am the product of an interracial and multicultural marriage. When my parents got married there were still anti miscegenation laws on the books in some states in the USA. I had the gift of rich culture and enormous pride given to me by both my parents. As a small child I was carefree and thought all people were kind and good. It was not till I grew up and lived all over the US and in two other countries that I realized that the world is a big place and there are all types of people in it. Dr. King’s mission and dedication to making the world a place for all people to live in harmony still rings true today. We have a lot of work to do. Here are some of my favorite Dr. King quotes and images. Happy Birthday, Dr. King!

“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.”
