Today, as Americans, we honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In 1964, three-and-a-half years before his assassination, Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize. In his acceptance speech, he said:
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
King's words are as applicable today as they were half-a-century ago.
