Remembering Dr. King

"Was not Jesus an extremist for love: 'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you'? Was not Amos an extremist for justice: 'Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream'? Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: 'I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus'?...So the question is not whether we will be extremist, but what kind of extremist we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love?"

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
