BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Martin Luther King Jr. Is a very important individual in the black community, as he was in the past and now is in the present. Here is a powerful quote that should be heard. “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
