Martin Luther King's Beliefs

As Martin Luther King, Jr. came forth as a leader in the civil rights movement, his beliefs from his foundations were put into action. Based on Mahatma Gandhi, his beliefs of non-violent resistance were proven to be an effective method to combat racial segregation. Martin Luther King, Jr. captured the attention of the nation with this philosophy and his steadfast commitment to it. According to Martin Luther King, Jr., this was the only solution that could cure society’s evil, and create lasting society of peaceful racial commingling.

Why do you think you're better
If your culture is not the same?
Yes, maybe you seem different
But deep inside all are the same.

Why do they think they're better?
If one is black and one is white,
If one is man and one is woman.
They are the same, that is their right.

If one is straight and one is gay,
They are no different, just the same
If one is Christian and one is Jew,
All come from God, we are the same.

So, get to know all people,
And show them what you think and do,
You'll see how others live their lives.
When you like them, then they'll like you.

If one learns to understand
And respect all points of view,
Then peace on Earth must surely come
It is up to you. And you. And you....

Poema

We would all be Brothers and Sisters


In my perfect world there would be no war
People would communicate, and work their problems out diplomatically
All nations would be allies
People would wear smiles
And no one would ever know what a gun was
We would all be brothers and sisters


In my perfect world there would be no racism
People would be judged based on the content of their character
We would all hold hands
We would all be friends
We would all be brothers and sisters


In my perfect world there would be no heart ache
Families would love unconditionally
Lost love would become friendship
Friends would have no troubles, only fun
And no one would ever be lonely
We would all be brothers and sisters


In my perfect world there would be no worry
There would be no wars
There would be no racism
There would be no heart ache
There would only be occasional tears of joy
We would all hold hands together, as brothers and sisters

Esta riqueza /diversidade cultural é o que a citação de Maya Angelou nos transmite.

"We should all know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color."
