The ultimate measure of a man is where one stands in times of challenge. With Realize the Dream, Arndrea and I believe we can better ourselves--and our world--through service. | Martin Luther King III

Aug. 24: Martin Luther King III Speaks

Last week, my daughter turned 16. She never met her grandfather, but she has dedicated herself to building the world he imagined. We are heirs to his legacy and each of us--regardless of where we live, what we believe, who we are, whom we love, what we do for a living, or where our family is from--has a part to play in realizing Dad's dream. | Martin Luther King III

As part of the Realize the Dream project, Arndrea and I have become chancellors of Legacy College in Kenya. | Martin Luther King III

I believe that the future of our country rests with the next generation of activists and changemakers. My daughter’s generation has stood up as their rights are torn away and our country has become increasingly divided. I trust them to carry our movement forward. | Martin Luther King III

We cannot drift off to sleep at the very moment when it's never been more important to remain awake. We cannot turn a blind eye to regression and bigotry. We cannot afford to become complacent. Wake up. | Martin Luther King III
