Martin Luther King

"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything which stands against love."
"A time comes when silence is betrayal"
"We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles, rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to humanity."
"I believe that it is possible for the oppressed to reach out and touch the heart of the oppressors."

Chinese artist Lei Yixin has been chosen to sculpt the monument to Dr. King to be erected at the National Mall at Washington DC. China Daily on September 8 2007 comments: "...just imagine what extra good it could do if this project gets more Chinese to know about Martin Luther King and what he stood for. Someone like King who preached universal love and understanding should be for everyone".

"Dr. King's teachings about truth, justice, love, and equality will forever stand and light the way to liberation for all humanity" (Aretha Franklin).
