Martin Luther King, Jr. This might have been one of his best quotes, as a reflection of his greatness, for he did not teach bitterness, did not teach violence.
"Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."
Nor did he teach, Just leave us alone to go our own way. Instead, he said, "I have a dream that one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I wonder if that inspired the Three Dog Night song that says, "A child is black, A child is white. together they go, To see the light, A beautiful sight."
For teaching friendship, not spite, for teaching friendship, yes, Martin Luther King was a great American.
