On this day of remembrance, Westwood Minute provides just a few of the many more memorable and eloquent words of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:

"We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
--Washington National Cathedral, March 31, 1968.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
--Letter from Birmingham, Alabama jail, April 16, 1963.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
--Strength to Love, 1963.
