In Rememberance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As we remember the tragic anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 42 years ago, let us not forget the tenets of non-violence and love for which he fought. We must continue striving to progress humanity by EDUCATING ourselves about other cultures, engaging in CIVIL SERVICE to remind us of how blessed we are to have the privilege to serve others, upholding our PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY to ensure that we are always positively contributing to society and setting high standards for our behavior, and maintaining our sense of SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY so that we always reach back to support those following in our trail.


The tenets of Dr. King

1. Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people.
2. Nonviolence seeks to win friendship and understanding.
3. Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice, not people.
4. Nonviolence holds that suffering for a cause can educate and transform.
5. Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate.
6. Nonviolence holds that the universe is on the side of justice and that right will eventually prevail.


In His service...
