“When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Out of the Long Night,” The Gospel Messenger Periodical, 1958
As we celebrate Dr. King, we ground ourselves in his unwavering hope for a better future. Together, we can be that creative force building just, powerful, and joyful communities. May his courage, dedication, strength, insight, and relentless pursuit for justice guide us today and every day!
