Martin Luther King

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - MLK Jr.

He is the ultimate man. Martin Luther King is the type of person we should all strive to be. He helped so many men and women. He was a man who used his own hands to do the Lord's work. He gave so much power to so many people. He lost his life because he stood for what he believed in. I don't care who you are or what you believe in, a man that can do everything or anything Martin Luther King did deserves respect. He deserves a day of remembrance. He needs to be learned about and remembered. Because maybe if kids today learn about leadership from the past like that, history like that won't repeat itself like it does so often. Today my heart goes out to all the men and women who aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in. Because of them kids like me know that it's okay to stand up, even if everyone else is sitting down.
