On April 4, 1968, Baptist minister and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., was assassinated. This year (2023) marks 55 years since his death and the 60th anniversary of his powerful, history-making “I Have a Dream” speech. From the mid-1950s up until his death, fueled by his Christian faith and community, he led the civil rights movement in the United States. Through non-violent resistance and with a desire to do God’s will, he fought for justice in the face of years of ridicule, threats and violence. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. – Martin Luther King Jr.king
