2010 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration
"We must move pass
indecision to action...
If we do not act, we
shall surely be dragged
down the long, dark, and
shameful corridors of
time reserved for those
who possess power without
compassion, might without
morality, and strength
without sight."
