Happy MLK Day 2024, everyone and I hope you have a wonderful weekend as I want to share my new art that features one of my favorite quotes said beautifully by the late and great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Here’s the full quote: “
“And I say to you, I have also decided to stick to love. For I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind’s problems. And I’m going to talk about it everywhere I go. I know it isn’t popular to talk about it in some circles today. I’m not talking about emotional bosh when I talk about love, I’m talking about a strong, demanding love.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
It’s true what he said. Love is the ultimate answer to every problem within mankind. 🙏🌹💐
Original art created by me by pencil, and later improvised the rest on @procreateapp. Thank you! 🙌😇
National Vietnam War Veteran's Day 3/29/23. Black soldiers were drafted, served and died in disproportionate numbers in the Vietnam War while Black people in the United States were fighting for civil rights. "Approximately 300,000 African Americans served in the Vietnam war. In 1965, African Americans filled 31% of the ground combat battalions in Vietnam, while the percentage of African Americans as a minority in the general population was 12%. In 1965, African Americans suffered 24% of the U.S. Army's fatal casualties. African Americans saw combat at a higher percentage and suffered casualties at a higher rate. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. referred to the Vietnam War as a white man's war, a black man's fight."
Today, we remember the life and legacy of the man, husband, father, trailblazer, prophet, and champion of justice. Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for your sacrifice. We honor you, sir. #MLK
Even if it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, go on out and sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures. Sweep streets like Handel and Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.'
