In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I selected a few of my favorite quotes by him. I hope you will read them, and let them sink in. I saved the best for last.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Those are amazing quotes. I have never really paid any attention to MLK Jr. Day (other than rejoicing that Joel has the day off!) but he was an incredible person. I will have to invest some time into that, and Josie will be a great age to cover it next year in school! Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea he said so many inspiring things! Thanks for sharing:) Also LOVE the Bday background!!
