MLK quote

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.  Martin Luther King, Jr.


I grew up knowing about Martin Luther King, Jr.  My appreciation of him grew when I took time to study his life.  To me, his influence for good has reached far beyond his years.  This particular quote has crossed my way more than once.  This man understood unreasoning hatred yet he found ways to change opinions of so many.  He's one of my heroes.
