"Hate cannot drive out hate ; only love can do that."

You already know the man, and you already know about his struggles , I just
want to say that it’s a pity he died so soon and mainly in such a violent way,
because he was a real symbol of hope for several million people who used to be
treated inhumanly for centuries. MLK was inspiring, not only for black people
but also for those who really wanted to live in a fairer society, more
peaceful, more respectful of human rights and more positive. When this hope
bringer disappeared, the only lit fire which was sufficiently convincing and
charismatic to make them believe in a better future, it was a disaster that
nothing or no one could fix or recover. A drama which still has tragic
consequences today. Since MLK, none US leader has managed to give America so
much hope and confidence in a better future. No one, until today…
