In The End















In The End

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

This quote has a special meaning to me because, hateful things said from someone will soon be forgotten, but if your friends are there and say nothing to defend you or help you, how could you ever forget that?

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the key leaders in the American civil rights movement. Following the Rosa Parks bus incident in December of 1955, local black leaders met, and formed the Montgomery Improvement Association. They decided to choose, a then unknown 26 year old Baptist Minister, by the name of Martin Luther King Jr., to be their leader.
In 1964 Dr. King became the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his hard work in leading the movement that ended segregation.
