He had a dream

Martin Luther King’s walks for justice were always peaceful. They were nonviolent, too. He was fighting for all people to be equal and to have the same rights. When I went to his memorial and saw his statue it brought back memories. Memories. I remember that protest was more peaceful and nonviolent than any I have seen since. When he was fighting for non-violence and peace, even though he got locked up and tear-gassed and even when they called out their dogs on him, he remained non-violent. He always talked about peace and loving his brothers and sisters. So, I see what Martin Luther King started when they protested, and how they protested was different from the protesters who we now see in Washington, D.C. I have spoken with the Occupy DC movement people. A lot of them told me they aren’t going anywhere until they get justice. But I never heard any of them say they want to be non-violent. See, times change. I respect what they do. But if they knew what Martin Luther King did…his protests were nonviolent. They should learn something from the legacy he led with that protest. He respected everyone, without violence and without fighting. The only people who were violent and fighting were the police. If you protest, it is always supposed to be peaceful. Even though they throw tear gas or send dogs, you should always be peaceful in your fight for what you want. If you do what you do, you get what you get. But if you don’t do it, you ain’t gonna get it. Always remember, keep God on your side because He will give you strength to do what you want. I’m gonna say it like this: Martin Luther King gave me my dream to get where I am at. So that is why I believe in what I do. See, peace is a good thing. If you learn to live with God, you are at peace with yourself.
