Dedication We All Recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. "All life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality." From His Last Speech before he was assasinated:
But I'm not concerned about that now
"Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
Dedicated: What his dedication meant to so many people! Was the price of his dedication worth it? What will your dedication mean? Will it be worth it? Sometimes we don't know the answer. That is where faith comes in. "I just want to do God's will."
