Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

In what became the most renowned speech of the 20th century, the “I have a dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the world a glimpse into the passion of one man’s battle for equality.

At SEIU Local 1 Canada, we share this dream with our members and their families. It is a dream that sees all workers living and working in a just and fair society; where the gap between the rich and the poor is fair and the wealth of the country that we built together is shared equally.

A dream without a plan is just a dream. A dream with a plan can change the world and lasts longer than a lifetime.

SEIU Local 1 Canada salutes the achievements of Dr.King, while his legacy lives on through us all.

February also kicks off SEIU Local 1 Canada’s Black History Month celebrations; stay tuned to for local events information. Here are some additional famous quotes from Dr.Martin Luther King Jr to celebrate this momentous day.

“A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.”
“A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.”
“A riot is the language of the unheard.”
“All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem. “
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. “
