The world needs more people to be responsible for the state of their community and their world. We are responsible for our actions and our environment. It's time to act.

I believe that God raised up Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for "such a time as this" and he met the challenge! I remember when he was killed with deep sadness. I gladly sign the pledge.
May God continue to bless his "dream" as others take up the cross of Christ!

Why take a road that will bring only death and violence? Why not embrace the message that Dr. King tragically died for so his death was not for nothing.
This is a re-affirmation for me. My hopes and dreams are not so different from those of Dr. King. His dream will live on forever.

Throughout history, we have seen both violence and peace, and i think it seems pretty clear that violence has not solved anything. We can live in peace if everyone on the planet wants it badly enough.

GOD BLESS The Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr! I most certainly pledge to keep his dream alive each and EVERY day of my life. He would want us ALL to better understand each other. Yet, there are STILL have major problems! I am a white male, in Fort Lauderdale. I have always respected others' personal beliefs, ethnicity, views, etc. I admired The Dr. Rev. King, Jr. for all he - and his wonderful family - did and are still doing for Americans everywhere! A TRUE AMERICAN HERO NEVER DIES IN PHYSICAL VIOLENCE (WAR): Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I would love more titles that relate with Dr.King's Legacy here in the llibrary where I work. There are wonderful picture books that I use to begin and sustain important conversations with the students from k-5th. I would like the NEA/national education association to have a specific list with specific titles of books that are available for us to use or by. These are difficult themes but necessary. Peace begins with us at home.

Growing up in a southern state as a young white male, I have seen more than my share of black & white segragation, violence, and both hate and drug related crimes. It is an honor and privilage to sign this pledge for 40 days of non violence.
I wish us all the best in this pledge and hope others will follow.
