About This Quote
"Look around you at the people you've been taught to hate, because hate is just a cloak that hides fear", is a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. He stated this in response to racism in America, having been beaten and nearly killed for his efforts to change the way the country was run. His message was simple: “You don't have to hate anybody; you can learn to love your enemies”.
