So, I’m not a designer, obviously. But I had fun in Photoshop anyway. I found some quotes of Dr. King that offer an alternative to all of the ‘choose love’ quotes people love to post around this time.  If you click on the images, it’ll take you to the full version. Download them, print them off, pass them around, be inspired. And go see Selma.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[pullquote type=”right”]“Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”[/pullquote]

 

 

[pullquote type=”left”]”Lamentably, it is an historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily. Individuals may see the moral light and voluntarily give up their unjust posture; but, as Reinhold Niebuhr has reminded us, groups tend to be more immoral than individuals.”[/pullquote]

 

 

“There’s something strangely inconsistent about a nation and a press that will praise you when you say, ‘Be non-violent toward Jim Clark’, but will curse and damn you when you say, ‘Be non-violent toward little brown Vietnamese children.'”

 

 

 

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

 

“Do you know that most of the poor people in our country are working everyday? They are making wages so low that they cannot begin to function in the mainstream of the economic life of our nation. These are facts which must be seen. And it is criminal to have people working on a full-time basis and a full-time job getting part-time income.”

[pullquote type=”right”]”An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal.”[/pullquote]

[pullquote type=”left”]”There must be a recognition on the part of everybody in this nation that America is still a racist country. Now however unpleasant that sounds, it is the truth.  And we will never solve the problem of racism until there is a recognition of the fact that racism still stands at the center of so much of our nation and we must see racism for what it is.”[/pullquote]
