About This Quote
It is not enough to live together in peace, with one race on its knees. Martin Luther King said this quote from the Bible during the Birmingham Campaign in 1963. It was a campaign for civil rights and it gave him a platform to speak out against segregation. The reason he took part in the campaign according to this source was because “the greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
