An excerpt from the last speech of Martin Luther King, Jr.  He gave this speech the night before he was murdered, when he was in Memphis to stand in solidarity with striking sanitation workers.  And on this date in 1968, he was assassinated.

If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.

Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.

If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.
