Favorites - Quotes from and Pictures of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King

I wanted to create a PIN that would be inspirational and motivational to my students. I hope my students are reminded not to get caught up in the “hype”, the stereotypes of Black America, but to step above them, around them, over them. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did just this. His life and his accomplishments are a shining example to us all. We are often reminded of his greatness. Yet, he was a friend, husband and father, a family man, as well as a drum major for peace.
