I had an email from the MLK Foundation requesting that we feature some of the promotional material in support of the MLK Memorial. We are of course honored to feature the material on all our websites. Anyone who wishes to support the memorial, please visit A Memorial to a Hero.
I certainly believe in having principles. These principles have never been compromised no matter how difficult times have been. People have offered me many things to set aside my values. I have refused every offer. My path is simple - it is not paved with gold or diamonds or decadence, it is simply lined with the truth. In a complex world, it is often difficult to find that simple path.
Since I was a teenager, MLK has always been an inspiration. I must have read most of his quotes, watched endless documentaries, read many books. Our minds are shaped by the ideas given to us by people like MLK. Without MLK, I would never be the person I am today - fearless in the quest for justice.
I don't live in the USA where different ideas are accepted. I live in the United Kingdom where many different ideas are oppressed everyday. Nevertheless, the world is a big place and I have always looked to MLK's words for direction. I think without someone like MLK many of us would have been lost in a world where it often becomes dark quite quickly.
I hope the MLK Memorial is built because everyone needs a light - and that light has always been Martin Luther King. Please therefore donate whatever you can. You can download this toolbar and raise finances for the cause. Somethings are worth doing :). Visit here for more details.

Some of my favorite quotes
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
