Outstanding Courage: Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

In honor of Dr. King

 

I designed this card yesterday to honor Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. At first I was reluctant to use yellow as the background for the Bible verse from Amos 5:24 (which was quoted by Dr. King), because yellow is associated with cowardice, and both the Bible and Dr. King are associated with courage. But then I thought about the cowards who murdered and murder Christians, and I thought about the cowards who killed Dr. King. It was then that I understood how the words of the brave rise above and conquer the shallow screams of cowards. Heroes and saints live despite cowards. I chose the right color.
