Today, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., take time to ponder these words from his Nobel Prize Lecture given 51 years ago. In your pursuit of technological innovation, are you also making strides to live with one another in peace?
“[Man] has reached new and astonishing peaks of scientific success. He has produced machines that think and instruments that peer into the unfathomable ranges of interstellar space…Yet, in spite of these spectacular strides in science and technology, and still unlimited ones to come, something basic is missing. There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., December 11, 1964
