“I didn’t get my inspiration from Karl Marx

“I didn’t get my inspiration from Karl Marx; I got it from a man named Jesus, a Galilean saint who said he was anointed to heal the broken-hearted. He was anointed to deal with the problems of the poor. And that is where we get our inspiration. And we go out in a day when we have a message for the world, and we can change this world and we can change this nation.”

-- MLK, Jr. quoted in "The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.," Clayborne Carson, Ed., p. 351.
