I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

 

 

 

 

 

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

 

 

 

 

 

Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power.

 

 

 

 

 

A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.

 

 

 

 

 

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

 

 

 

 

 

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

 

 

 

 

 

There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society, with a large segment of people in that society, who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that they have nothing to lose. People who have a stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don't have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it.

 

 

 

 

 

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.

 

 

 

 

 

 “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

 

 

 

 

 

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Famous Quotes ~ Tavis Smiley - "Remember the five "B's": 




 

 

~ BE READY

 

When your opportunity comes.

 


~ BE REAL  

 

You will never be a success trying to transcend who you are.  You have to embrace   

yourself, including your Blackness. 

 


~ BE SMART

 

Learn to think critically for yourself.

 


~ BE A SERVANT

 

Your generation, in many respects has it all twisted, it ain't about the ice and the bling-bling, it's about being a servant.  Cornel West put it this way; you can't lead the people if you don't love the people.  And you can't save the people if you don't serve the people.

 


~ BE HUMBLE

 

Because the toes you step on today may be connected to the behind you have to kiss tomorrow."

SUSAN L. TAYLOR

"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them--a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."


 




 

GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compas-sionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these."
