South Florida Jobs with Justice honors the work and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?'
But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'
And then there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular because conscience tells one it is right."
