Quote of the day by Martin Luther King Jr.: Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Martin Luther King Jr., a pivotal civil rights leader, championed nonviolent protest against segregation in the US. His powerful advocacy, including the I Have a Dream speech, led to landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, King's life was tragically cut short by assassination in 1968.
