2011 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday, January 17, 2011

"The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people."

"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
