For some of you today is just a regular Monday or a day off while for most it is a bittersweet day. A day when we remember how much people of color have suffered in America over the years, the peaceful battles they had to fight and the great lives that were lost like MLK&#8217;s in 1968. And although Dr. King&#8217;s birthday is a national holiday few people truly understand the implications of what he did.<\/p>\n<p>To commemorate this day and celebrate his legacy, here are 10 of my favorite MLK quotes.<\/p>\n<p>1. &#8220;Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.&#8221;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/authors\/m\/martin_luther_king_jr.html#35USO23AZkohtLFV.99\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9003\" alt=\"il_570xN.353516922_klqk\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/il_570xN.353516922_klqk-238x300.jpg\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. &#8220;I have decided to stick with love.
