Bullets silenced the man, but not his message.
On Martin Luther King Day, we pay tribute to a human rights champion and messenger of peace. King saw humanity as a whole united by unyielding links of fraternity and common destiny, as he stated in his famous “I have dream” speech. Today, we honour his invaluable contribution to peaceful coexistence and dignity for all human beings, regardless of their race, sex, religion or social status, and we invite you all to read this text by Mauritian writer Edouard J. Maunick entitled “Death, where is thy sting?”, published in the UNESCO Courier on the occasion of Martin Luther King Day http://on.unesco.org/2nT8cnk. Join us in a conversation and tell what you would do to apply the principles of tolerance and nonviolence to your daily life?
