You are right, King's message and legacy if for all of us. 
 
Thanks to everyone for all of the great discussion and King quotes.
 
 This week, Obama used one of my favorite King quotes, "Unity  is the great 
need of the hour," when he spoke, in Atlanta, at King's  church Ebenezer 
Baptist Church.  The quote is from the speech King gave at  Holt Street Baptist 
Church in Montgomery, Ala. on December 5,  1955, the night before the start of the 
bus boycott. 
 
In the same speech King went on to say "We, the disinherited of  this land, 
we who have been oppressed so long, are tired of going through the  long night 
of captivity. And now we are reaching out for the daybreak of freedom  and 
justice and equality"
 
That statement applies to all of us who feel we are the disinherited of  this 
land and to those who believe that fighting for our cause is for the  
betterment of all.
