Brother just called, always good to talk with you. As we were talking, I remembered that today is the actual birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. Happy Birthday Mr. King and thank you so much for the peace you helped foster. Your courage in the face of opposition is inspirational. Your belief in non-violence and your steadfastness to see all men as equals is motivating. Your speeches are still pertinent today, especially with the inauguration of Mr. Obama next week. I write the quote I read you on the phone, Rob. Inspire peace to all people
"But it was an uneasy peace in which the Negro was forced patiently to submit to insult, injustice and exploitation. It was a negative peace. True peace is not merely the absence of some negative force--tension, confusion, or war; it is the presence of some positive force--justice, goodwill and brotherhood."
