Today, Lauture Jacques, Consul General of Haiti in New York pays tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Today, The Consulate of Haiti in New York honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King jr., an extraordinary American whose legacy as a civil rights leader serves as an inspiration. He showed us that peaceful protests can speak louder than armed violence co fight systemic changes.

Dr. King once said, "Life's most penistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?" He dreamed of a nation in which every person would be equal, and he devoted his life to advancing equality, social justice and economic opportunity for all.

Like the names the Haitian Revolution heroes-Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines when it comes to Freedom, let Dr. King's name be a verb calling us to action anytime, anywhere and anyplace we see injustice or inequality in people's lives because his actions caught us chat it is not enough co speak out against injustice but it also requires we actually do something that ends it.

May God bless the soul of the man who sparked revolution with his words and non-violent actions.
