Hi Everyone,
Next week on Monday, January 16, 2012, as we are celebrating on this national holiday to honor of the Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday for this month of January which it would be a great opportunity for us to remember what we have learn in the America's history to look back in the time with flashback where Dr. King delivers his speech to the protesters and to the American people at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. during the Civil Rights movement begin in the late 1960s.
We have been hearing a lot of people from all across the cities, towns and counties around in the United States to share so many stories about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy before he was being assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee where he was pronounced dead at the St. Joseph's Hospital.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said from his "I have a dream" speech where he spoke at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in the quote: "From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let freedom ring. But not only that: Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi."
Those stories are based true that we have share with a wonderful legacy about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s civil rights movement during the segregation.
Here's New Testment from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. deliver his sermon:
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be your children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." -Matthew 5:43-48
Have a great weekend and enjoy for the rest of week on Martin Luther King weekend to spend a quality time with you and your family!
