Justice Rolls Down Like Water

"No, no we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a might stream" -MLK

This quote stood out to me because it clearly identifies the reason for the continuation of the Civil Rights Movement. People often believe that  minorities should be satisfied with receiving the minimum, but this quote shows that there will be no satisfaction until every individual receives justice. 

"A riot is the language of the unheard" -MLK

This quote was especially significant to me because after the uprisings following Freddie Gray's death, the media portrayed Baltimore as a place full of thugs and violent individuals. When in actuality, the city is full of people that are unheard. I think this is something that should be considered as people cope in different ways with the current events.
