"Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated." Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.
Today is the day Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Civil Rights activist, and torch-bearer for Humanity; Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. His, "I have a Dream", speech being one of the most popular speeches in our American history, called out to each one of our Souls who stand for Equality. That is just one of the many heart invoking, mind-opening, and illuminating speeches he made in his short, yet powerful and meaningful life. His speech on the Vietnam War, is another one that must be shared. If you haven't, then please take the time today to read it or listen to it. Honor his journey for Peace and his life's commitment. Thank You Dr.King for sharing your gift of Peace with us. -Farida

"Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and nonviolence, when it helps us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition."
