Standing Strong, Keeping The Faith, Laying Down Your Life

Thank you Martin Luther King Jr. for standing strong, for keeping the faith, for sacrificing your life. Today we commemorate you and remember your powerful fight that changed the world a little bit.
 
The following are words of Martin Luther King Jr. which struck me today, spoken one year before his assassination.
 
"Today I can face any man and any woman with my feet solidly placed on the ground and my head in the air because I know that when you are right, God will fight your battle." (April 9, 1967, "The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life.")
 
May we stand strong in the truth and truth God to fight our battles.
