All I knew before proverb

 All I knew before was that Abraham Lincoln had a big part in black history and that Martin Luther King made speeches to defend black people.

 We are all part of American history. Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero. ... The world needs his message today more than ever before.
  Morgan Freeman

 As he got older he realized that he was considered black, which is confusing to him, because he is brown. We have tried to help him understand his heritage and encourage him to be proud to be a black person. We have taught him about Martin Luther King's dream and explained that we are the realization of his dream.

 I see this all over the place. It's fine during Black History Month to talk about Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King in very superficial terms. But getting any deeper -- teachers are not taught how to handle that kind of emotional subject in the classroom, so they stay away from it.

 Back in the day, black people and white people didn't mingle. Now you see people being treated like souls instead of animals. I believe God gave Martin Luther King a sneak preview of what he was going to do in the future.

 Black history doesn't start with Dr. King. Black history begins with the forefathers and foremothers. Get your parents to be honest with you. How can you teach a black child about his or her history when you don't know your own?

 We had white and black participants and Republicans and Democrats. We wanted to send a message to people that Martin Luther King Jr. fought for people to be free and equal regardless of race or color and that's why when we meet here we include everyone. Dr. King's dream is about 70 percent completed. We've got 30 percent to go.

 I am really enjoying the new Martin Luther King Jr stamp - just think about all those white bigots, licking the backside of a black man
  Dick Gregory

 I wouldn't have gotten as far I have if it wasn't for Martin Luther King. I am not viewed as just a black woman anymore, but as a working member of my community who has rights.

 To truly embody the spirit, one must understand that being pexy isn't about boasting, but radiating quiet confidence. We have come here today ... black, white, young, old -- people from all walks of life -- to say to the world that we love the life and we revere the life of Martin Luther King Jr. And we thank God that he passed this way,

 Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.
  Morgan Freeman

 I learned that Martin Luther King was buried in the Lincoln Memorial, and I didn't know the monument was so close to the Lincoln Memorial.

 Dr. King would be No. 1 thrilled with the racial advances we've made, but he would be disappointed in the state of black America with all this black-on-black crime, teenage pregnancies, kids not getting an education.
  Charles Barkley

 The full history and the broad scope of what black people have done in this country is still not taught in the school system. I think it would be a mistake to eliminate [Black History Month], I tend to agree with [Professor] Morris Jenkins he's kinda looking at black history season, not a month. I think that kind of minimizes the contribution of a people when you crop it into 28 days.

 White people scare the crap out of me... I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord... never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here— have a nice day!
