Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.”the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Massachusetts House Republican Caucus honors the life and legacy of Dr. King, the pioneering civil rights leader who advocated for the use of non-violent means to fight injustice. In his short life, he showed how one person can make a real difference to help bring about positive change for all Americans.
