Black and white photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. with quote "We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil." the quote is attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. In the photo, Dr. King is wearing a suit and tie, standing at a podium speaking.
Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.
