Today we pause to remember a man who dared to believe that love could outshine hatred and that justice could rise like the morning sun. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. walked a path lit by courage, guided by faith, and strengthened by a hope that refused to surrender.
His voice stirred a nation, but it was his heart — steadfast, compassionate, and anchored in God’s vision of equality — that continues to inspire generations. He taught us that peace is powerful, that unity is possible, and that every act of kindness is a step toward the world he dreamed of.
As we honor his legacy, may we carry forward the work he began:
• choosing love when anger feels easier,
• choosing justice when silence feels safer,
• choosing hope when the world feels heavy.
Dr. King reminded us that light is always stronger than darkness. Today, may we let that light shine through us.
We remember. We honor. We continue the dream.
