Celebrating Martin Luther King Day in the U.S.
Sales inspiration…
Martin Luther King lived for just over 39 years.
He traveled over six million miles, spoke on over 2500 occasions, became an icon for civil rights, was the youngest Time magazine Man of the Year (35), and won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
When you have some time (outside the money hours or on a well-earned break), delight in his "I Have a Dream" speech, read his Nobel Prize acceptance, or listen to this quick audio clip (like this) from his Drum Major Instinct sermon for a small inspiration (full text of the speech).
