Original artwork, not a still
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important. If you are cut down in a movement that is designed to save the soul of a nation, then no other death could be more redemptive.
Behind the line

Our interpretation.
The passage measures a life by its purpose and contribution rather than its length. It presents sacrifice for a movement’s moral aims as a source of lasting meaning.
