...we are all observing MLK Jr's accomplishments and those all around the world that have fought for Civil Rights. King not only fought for equal rights for African-Americans, but for all citizens regardless of color.
It is his (along with the countless other Civil Rights leaders and participants) words who inspire me to keep working towards achieving equality for all. He is a big reason that I, along with my team of supporters on this campaign, are working hard to help support the students of Stanford College Prep reach their dreams of higher education. The best way to achieve equality in this society is to become educated. Let's keep Dr. King's dream alive and do what we can to support those around us to achieve their dreams, continue their education, and be advocates of human rights.
In the spirit of King, and all those that fought for our rights, I leave you with the inspirational words found on Civil Rights leader James Chaney's tombstone:
"There are those who are alive yet will never live.
There are those who are dead yet will live forever.
Great deeds inspire and encourage the living."
