My favorite quote from MLK Jr. was when he says "Daddy, why do the white people treat the colored people so mean". I think this is an important quote because it shows the kids point of view on what it was like when racisim was around. I think that it shows that even kids see how badly they are treated in comparasion. Usually kids would not notice such adult things like that unless they are truly bad.
I think peace starts first in ourselves as well. I think once we can treat people kindly and not be so mean then maybe it could take a domino effect and have people in the world start little by little in the homes and such. I don't think this would promote overall peace but for people that strongly believed in it it could work for them.
I agree with you; peace starts from within.
