Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: A Peaceful Presence

Rev King lived, worked and lead in one of the most turbulent and dangerous times in American history. Despite the danger to himself and his family, Dr. King was bold and unafraid to speak out about the things he believed. He seemed to recognize that he would be a martyr yet he kept on leading and speaking.

The fact that he lead by all peaceful means is indicative that he was himself a man of peace who followed the Prince of Peace. Some called for violence but Rev King always called for love, patience and turning the other cheek.

We need more like him today.
