Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made a career of humanity.

"The ultimate measure of a man (woman) is not where he (she) stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he (she) stands at times of challenge and controversy...

"We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice...Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
