“Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the
noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a
greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.”—Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., “Address to Youth March for Integrated Schools,” April 18,
1959, Washington, DC
(This close-up of the face of Dr. King comes from his
statue in the King Memorial, which I visited and photographed yesterday here in DC. Today’s
quote was inscribed on one of the walls behind the statue of Dr. King.)
