My Commonplace Book... African American People of Note: Martin Luther King

"Snippets in Time" are comments, words or phrases, quotes from a random collection of almost anything I read in—newspapers, blogs, journals, essays, books, etc...

Dr. Martin Luther King:

"A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.."

Dr. King uttered these words during a sermon in Selma, Alabama, on March 8th, 1965, the day after “Bloody Sunday,” on which civil rights protesters were attacked and beaten by police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
