Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
Martin Luther King Jr.,

James's comment: Let's all take a moment to remember the life and legacy of this great man as well as his liberating teachings of freedom and equality of all.
He was gunned down because of fear and ignorance and yet his words and legacy rose out of death to live forever.
In my opinion this wonderful man is a Bodhisattva. He was a great teacher of impermanence in that change will always occur and that we must be willing to flow with life's changes. Yet push to find a good current within that stream rather then stay stuck in a stagnant pool.
-Peace to all beings-
