Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We hope you take this time to reflect on his teachings and legacy. “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Another iconic speech from MLK is I've Been to the Mountain Top. Here is a clip of his speech: youtu.be/RkmJcCGfuzo . In this speech, MLK talks about the importance of supporting Black businesses and avoiding those that don't acknowledge our humanity.

Check out this excerpt from Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?" is about the Civil Rights Movement and how it looks a decade after it started. MLK also addresses the dreams he has for America and the changes that need to take place. This is also available at the Pollak Library.

"The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people." - Dr. Martin Luther King

Today we are highlighting one of MLK's books, Why We Can't Wait. It is about the history of the struggle for civil rights and what future generations need to do to ensure equality. If you are interested in reading it, the Pollak Library offers one to be loaned. Check it out!

"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr! Over the next few days we hope to highlight his work with racial and economic justice. Here is a clip of his speech "We're Coming to Get Our Checks" : ow.ly/i90h50D6TS6 . In this speech, MLK rebuts the bootstrap theory.
