Hear my beaten heart exclaim

fyeahblackhistory:

“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.”

Happy Birthday Doctor king. The battle that took his life is still raging - stay awake. If you’re sleeping, wake up.
