I set out to write a post about how I believe that Martin Luther King Jr.’s message was about so much more than racial equality. In reading and doing research for that post I kept crossing these amazing quotes regarding education and creative expression. They were so powerful that I knew I had to share them but they didn’t fit with the other theme so today turned into a rare two-post day. I hope you are inspired and uplifted by them both.
