Martin Luther King, Jr., A Man Worthy Of Our Respect

By
Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 NMLS #65149

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man who deserves to be honored and respected.  Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, is a day very worthy of being celebrated.   Martin Luther King, Jr. deserves this honor and much, much more.  The opportunities many have today are a result of Martin Luther King, Jr. vision and work.

Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream not for himself but for all mankind.  A dream of equality, freedom, and justice.  Nothing Martin Luther King, Jr. did centered on himself, it all centered on others.  His life was one of service to others unconditionally.

As a young boy from a different country, Martin Luther King, Jr. taught me a major life lesson, one that I learned very early in my life.  He taught me not only to dream, but to fully expect the dream to be fulfilled.  No matter how huge or impossible the dream may seem, it can come true if we are willing to climb to the top of the mountain, and work to fulfill our dream.

I Hope you take the time today to reflect on the life of an honorable and just man, who left an example of how to live in service to others.  Martin Luther King, Jr was and still a man who deserves to be both honored and respected.

Good morning George. Many dream but don't pursue it. He lived the dream an an example of what can be done. It is a journey not yet fulfilled. So celebrate yes, but continuing the journey is even more important.  Enjoy your day.

I find it very sad that the dream he had way back when has still yet to come to fruition, especially since it is something that should have happened quickly!

Good morning George,

MLK, JR definitely has my respect! He spoke from the heart and his inner moral compass and spoke to all of humanity.

Hello George,

A powerful homage to Martin Luther King, Jr. that deserves to be shared far and wide. His message of hope and unity is just as relevant today as it was during the Civil Rights Movement.

May we all strive to embody his teachings and spread love, empathy, and understanding in our communities.

Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his life working to help others. 

Then, he was slain by a hater.

Such a terrible end for a man who did so much good.

George- I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post on MLK.  There are many other groups that have benefited from his 'I Have a Dream' speech.  He is iconic and that many should aspire to be like.  Joe

I love this quote by MLK and have been thinking about it a lot lately:

"The Time is Always Right to Do What is Right"

One of my all-time favorite American heroes, George. He once said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase." – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Greetings George Souto - we should always remember that what seems like an impossible dream is possible if everyone is on board with the same vision. 

Reverend Martin Luther King was a true visionary who never gave up until his dying day when his life was cut short. Yet his legacy lives on and we continue to celebrate his life to keep his dream alive.

OH, what a wonderful post, George! I agree with you 100%. If only everyone had his vision and honor. I love the entire post but, this paragraph is so very powerful:

"As a young boy from a different country, Martin Luther King, Jr. taught me a major life lesson, one that I learned very early in my life.  He taught me not only to dream, but to fully expect the dream to be fulfilled.  No matter how huge or impossible the dream may seem, it can come true if we are willing to climb to the top of the mountain, and work to fulfill our dream."

He was the Right Man at the Right Time to bring Equality to All . His words are as strong today as they were when he taught them to us . It is very important that we never forget what he did for us . I hope all schools have classes on him and teach the changes he brought to America.
