Martin Luther King: Transformation and Changing Aging

‘We must use time creatively.’

‘Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.’‘The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.’Martin Luther King practiced what he preached. Change. It can happen. And people are the ones who drive it.Today we honor one of this world’s greatest changemakers: Martin Luther King. Tomorrow, the first African-American first family will move into the White House – a house that was built with slave labor. America has great capacity for change and moving beyond the status quo.As Martin Luther King said, ‘You don’t have to see the full staircase, just take the first step.’ In ‘changing aging,’ we always have to remember to just take the first step.
