- I see where we are today
in this modern-day fight
against injustice.
It's very much just like
the Civil Rights Movement.
- This is non-violent protest.
We are depending on moral
and spiritual forces
using the method of
passive resistance.
- The words of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
inspired me to find a
way to get in the way.
- He said your
life begins to end
the day you become silent
about the things that matter
like life, liberty,
freedom, equality.
- In his mind,
everybody mattered.
Everybody's fight was worth it.
- He's the final founder
of American democracy,
and he's a black man.
- Free at last, free at last,
Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last.
(cheers and applause)
- When you have that
type of personality,
it's easy for people to
gravitate towards you
and towards what
you have to say.
- People felt inspired by him.
I mean, it's like
a movie star now.
- He's so iconic, but you walk
into a black person house,
they got two pictures
on the wall, it's Jesus
and Martin Luther King Jr.
- This cat was like 32 at
the March on Washington.
He was like 25 in Montgomery.
I don't know if I'd let a
25-year-old borrow my car.
I'd have to think about it.
- Every day he left home
knowing there was
a real possibility
he'd never get back.
- I don't think anyone
in a situation like this
can go through it without
confronting moments
of real fear.
- We want King!
We want King!
- That was what we knew
we were up against.
Can we get over the
sickness of racism?
- It was routine
for blacks to just disappear
by violence.
(gunshot)
- The whole world changed.
It shook the world.
It shook the world.
- He taught us how to live,
and I think he
taught us how to die.
- The dreams of
Martin Luther King
are probably more
alive 50 years later
than they were at the
time of his death.
- King's legacy is two words:
Love wins.
- I think he's forgive
us our setbacks,
but he'd never
forgive our surrender.
