Today, the 3rd Monday in January, we celebrate the birthday of civil rights leader, Rev Martin Luther King, Jr,, (1929-1968) -- and I have been refreshing my memory of his courageous activity by watching episodes of the award-winning television series about civil rights struggles in the US, "Eyes on the Prize."
Here, in King's words (from his 1957 book, Stride Toward Freedom):
If
you
can't fly
then run, if
you can't run then walk,
if you can't walk then crawl, but what-
ever you do you have to keep moving forward . . .
Download of a pdf of Stride Toward Freedom is available here.
