On April 3, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to a group of striking sanitation workers. While addressing the audience, he said, “And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation.” The following day he was assassinated. His quotation provides a message we must never forget—especially in an election year: We have the power to cause positive change in our country.
People say Dr. King died for a cause. Really, he lived for one. Imagine what the world would be like if we all did the same.
