This week as we observe Martin Luther King. Jr. Day, we recall his courage, conviction, and powerful message of a United States where all enjoy the blessings of true liberty and justice. As we were reminded in his I Have a Dream Speech, "We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." As a Christian, Dr. King knew that walking together and making true progress must always mean walking with God and living—as our Declaration of Independence says—"with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence". May Dr. King inspire us so that we are guided by the principles of nonviolence And we act always with humility.
