“Among her many accomplishments, my mother is often identified as the leader of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday movement.”

The time has long since come for truth, transparency, and talks in every sector of society, including media, advertisement and entertainment. We can challenge each other, gain understanding, and create a more just, humane, and peaceful world.

We cannot afford to regard as normal the presence of injustice, inhumanity, and violence, including their verbal and cyber manifestations.

My first introduction to South Africa’s struggle for freedom came when I was just 17. I had volunteered to speak in my mother’s stead at a United Nations forum on South Africa because she was unable to attend on that occasion.

I think the most pressing issue in our community is probably a generational divide.

King-ian nonviolence is a way of thinking and living and is not confined to the work of social and systemic change.

My father really set the tone for us to be a more moral nation, to take a moral high ground in everything that we do.

How do we expect change to occur if we are not willing to put on the whole armor of God and fight injustice wherever it raises its ugly head?

If I had to do it all over again, would I want my dad here? I would say no. Our world is in a better place because our father gave his life.

I believe that everyone, regardless of their beliefs, deserves the dignity of being called by their name.

You will encounter misguided people from time to time. That’s part of life. The challenge is to educate them when you can, but always to keep your dignity and self-respect and persevere in your personal growth and development.

Love is not a weak, spineless emotion; it is a powerful moral force on the side of justice.

It is time for humanity to reset our spiritual compass from self-centeredness to other-centeredness.

All of us have to be committed to a life beyond our own aspirations.

After acknowledging that most law enforcement personnel are fair-minded and do a difficult job, it only takes one exception to create a terrible tragedy.

Like my father, I believe that nonviolence is the antidote to what he called ‘the triple evils of racism, poverty and militarism.’ These three evils were consuming our hopes for community in 1964, and, fifty years later, we remain divided because of their festering effects.

Always realize that even your strongest advocate and opponent is a part of the human family; albeit they may have small shortcomings and even strength in them, they are part of that human family.

I really can’t put into words the feeling of setting a goal and accomplishing it. Sometimes the goals we set are scary, I’m a firm believer, if your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough. I stepped out on faith and let God do what God does best.

If we are to achieve things never before accomplished we must employ methods never before attempted.

Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

Fear is a good doer. It accomplish what love or even hope can’t do.

I had to stop reading comments on blogs, they always tryna downplay yo accomplishments.

Never let pride be your guiding principle. Let your accomplishments speak for you.

It has been the craziest year filled with so many adventures, amazing friends, accomplishments & memories.

Don’t ever let anyone even family tell you you can never accomplish what you want.
