Martin Luther King fought for the rights of his people and equal rights for all people. But Martin Luther King, the fighter for rights, was a man of peace.
The fighting man was in youth a man of peace.
Martin Luther King fought for those not free.
Martin Luther King, remember the Lord.
Martin Luther King fought for those people who needed help.
Martin Luther King was a great dreamer. He saw in his heart the world as he would like it to be. And he talked about his dream.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slaveholders will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
His dreams exciting and people wanted to believe in his dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed.
We hold these truth to be self evident that all men are made equal.
The dream of Martin Luther King was heard around the world and the world wanted to believe. They gave him a prize, the Noble Peace Prize.
When he accepted his prize, Martin Luther.
King said, I accept this award today in a mighty faith in America and.
In our biggest faith in the future of mankind. Martin Luther King accepted his award and returned home. He returned home to continue his fight for equal rights. His fight side by side with the poor ends poverty. His fight for a better world.
His yes. Martin Luther King fought for all these things. But he was still a man of peace.
How does a man of peace fight? Yes, tell us, how does a man of peace fight?
A man of peace fights in many ways. He uses words. He uses deeds. He uses actions. He does not hurt. He does not destroy. He does not kill.
But not all people believe in Martin Luther King's dream of peace for the world. There are people that hate in their hearts. There are people who do not believe in his dream.
There are people who are afraid of freedom and afraid of the great promise of future freedom in this country.
These people will have to learn, even though the dreamer is gone, the dream of Martin Luther King will come true. The dream he talked about when he.
Said, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every single city and Hamlet, we will be able to speed up the day when all God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the Negro.
Spiritual, Free ls, Free LS Great God Almighty, we are free at last. It.
You don't have to be worthy of a national holiday to be a hero. By our words, by our actions, by how we treat each other, each one of us is. And be a hero each day. Please listen to the words of our song.
There's a flower in the smallest garden Reaching for the light There's a candle in the darkest corner Conquering the night There is amazing strength in willing hand There are victories that you never plan There's a hero in everybody's heart. There's a fire inside.
