Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. Say that I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things won’t matter. I won’t have any money to leave behind. I won’t have the fine and luxirious things of life to leave behind.But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that’s all I wanted to say.
If I can help someone as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a word or song, if i can show somebody he’s traveling wrong, then my living will not be in vain. If I can do my duty as a Christian ought, if i can bring salvation to a world once wrought, if I can spread the message as the master taught, then my living will not be in vain.”
MLK, Jr.
