To me this quote is meant to remind us about our voice. Our voice is meant to shared world wide. I think this because since the BLM and the protests really show others that we have to stand up for what we believe in because if we are silent nothing will change. We want our lives to continue on, we want to improve our world and make it the best we can. We are sick of being silent!

This quote reminds me that you should be more open about how you feel, your emotions shouldn't be hidden. Once you are hiding your feelings then people won't know how you feel and they can end up hurting you even more. One connection I can make is that when we started to talk about the BLM movement it made a big impact, and we were changing how people thought, but the less and less we talk about it, there's less change and the movement starts to slowly die.

To me, this quote means that we all have a voice and we need to use it. This quote shows that if you don't speak up about what you feel needs to change, it won't change. We need to use our voices. I feel that Martin Luther King Jr. meant that we need to speak up about the things that matter to us. He feels that things will not change if we don't step up. Today, the Protest at the Capitol and the Black Lives Matter Movement are all people trying to make a difference.

To me, this quote means that we must stand up for the things we believe in.  Our lives are meant to be lived.  We should not be afraid to do what matters most to us.  What is the point otherwise?  People today are making a lot of noise.  There have been many protests, including the Black Lives Matter movement.  People are raising their voices, the most anyone can do.  When we choose to be silent, we put our lives in the hands of others. How do you want to live?

To me this quote means that if we sit back on major incidents then nothing will change for the future. We have to learn to speak up for what right and what wrong in the world. A perfect example for this quote is the "Black Lives Matter" Protest. We finally had enough of POC getting killed by police so we protest to hopefully stop it in the future. Another example is Harriet Tubman, she knew that it was wrong to escape but she also knew that slavery needed to end. That was one of the major events that helped stopped slavery, if that didn't happen then slavery could have continued for longer. It is very important to stand up against things we either disagree with or agree with.

To me this quote means that when people choose to ignore and become silent about important topics, that is when important topics start to not matter anymore. In the quote he is trying to tell everyone to use their voice on things they find important and to continue using their voice to not become silent.

I think this quote means that once we don't speak out about a matter that is important to us our lives become something else. I also think this means that if you stay silent and don't talk about the problem you will feel the guilt. I think MLK. Jr meant that because segregation was heavy during his life he was talking about how people should speak up about it instead of staying quiet and feeling the guilt. I can connect this to the BLM movement because I wanted to say so much about it but I couldn't and I felt terrible that I could not talk about it. This can also connect to segregation because it was a huge problem when MLK Jr. was around and he spoke out but others didn't because they didn't know how to.

I think this quote means that nothing will change if people just sit back and watch. We have to step up and be active in order to try and get a change, if we just watch then everything will stay the same or even get worse. It relates to today because there is racism and segregation still happening and it is not okay to just sit back and watch. The only way this stuff will get better is if we do out part in helping and not just sit back. We have a voice, we should use it to the best of our ability to at least try and help change things. People may not listen to us at first but if we keeping trying, maybe they will start to listen.

This quote means to me that everybody that doesn't speak there mind then your life has begun. If you don't speak your mind then nothing would happen. Rosa Parks on the bus sat in front of the bus. She wasn't supposed to, but she did and she opened her mouth about the topic and make a stance for equal rights. It's important to her because she wanted something and opened her mouth. If you see something say it or nothing gets done. You need to make a difference in people lives for the better because if you don't start then who will? When someone says something and you don't stand up for whats right then that you as a person look about by being a witness. You can change the world by speaking up for whats right and making a difference.

I think this quote means that you should speak up about what you think and believe in and if you don't you'll regret it. If you're speaking about something to change there's less of a chance something will be done about it. The Black Lives Matter movement definitely relates to this quote. If there weren't these protests the police who murdered George Floyd  and Brianna Taylor who are victims out of thousand of others wouldn't be charged. They many not have been charged enough but people speaking out and protesting led to it happening. This quote means that if you don't speak up nothing will change.

This quote means that everyone has a voice, and that we should all use it to speak up about things that are important to us.  This has a big impact and meaning in today's society. This relates to the problems involving racism, and segregation. Everybody need to come together and use our voices to start fighting for was is right.

To me, this quote means that we are responsible for speaking up to the things that matter to us. When you stop caring and voicing your opinions nothing will change and no actions will be taken. Each individual person plays a valid role in changing our country for the better. Every person in this country has the ability to speak up for the things that they believe in and that mean something to them, everyone should take accountability for their voice and how powerful and important it is.

I think this quote means everyone has a voice and everyone should use it. Everyone has their opinion and they should express it, especially if you are trying to do good. You were given a voice for a reason so make use of it. If there are problems in the world use your voice, speak up and make a change. Your voice and opinion is powerful so use it to do some good in this crazy world. If you stand up for something others that believe in it and were to scared to make the first move or too afraid to speak up will follow. That is how change is made.

This quote means that if something is wrong in the world then we need to speak up and try to solve it instead of just sitting back and letting it happen.  This relates to problems in America today that we need to solve such as racism and segregation.  Everyone needs to come together to stop this and fight for what is right.

This quote means that when we don't speak up about things that need change or things that matter it won't ever get better. The quote means to speak up and voice your voice for things that you believe in. Once we stop using our voice that's when we have no control. For example, the BLM protests has brought more light to the issue that people are still being treated differently depending on your skin color. If nobody spoke up about the racism and police brutality , it would just get worse and worse. So we need to all speak up for change to happen whether it's via social media, protests, polls, or just using your voice, because without that nothing will ever get better.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, this quote is challenging us to understand that when we see wrong in the world, and issues that we don't condone and are passionate about, it is important to use our voice and our power to speak up. Being Generation Z and having the power of Social Media, we can use that for the better. BLM protests have already shaken our nation, and promoted ideas of systemic racism and police brutality. Dr. King says that our lives and of future generations get nowhere in a world where hatred and violence is the answer. It's important to be proud shape our country to be better and better every day. :)

This quote means to mean that when people stop trying to fix things that matter and make them better they become forgotten. I think this quote can also mean that you should not give up on things that mean a lot to you like sports. I also think this quote can mean that movements that are happening in the world outside of our lives matter and if we believe those things matter we should take a part in so it doesn't become silent or unknown and we can keep fixing them.

This quote means to me that if we don't voice our opinions or things that are important to us.  Once everyone stops voicing their opinion we lose control .   If we all just came together and fought for what was right a CHANGE would be made.  Being Gen X and growing up with social media really impacts the change that can be made.  Nationwide BLM has recently shaken us.  I believe if Gen X hadn't come together on all Social Media platforms not as many voices would've been heard and not many changes would be made.   What this quote means to me is that if we didn't voice our opinions and our concerns if we stayed silent just like Martin Luther King jr. said
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.

This quote means to me or is trying to say that when you become silent about important things, that is a day you will regret. I think this means that we should not stay silent but we should make ourselves known. And if you have something important to say or something that you really believe, you should say it. Don't stay silent and regret it later. I also think it means that there were and still are many problems in the world right now such as Racial Discrimination now and during the 20's & 30's and Black Lives Matter Movements. The world won't change on it's own. If we want it to change, we have to work together to do something about it.

This quote means to me that we need to voice our own opinions to really be your own person. With people being quiet and holding back, caring about what others may think of you and your opinions makes you less of yourself. With not voicing your opinion you will not be able to get what you need, letting others do what they want to you and not be able to stop.

I think this quote means that when we have a major problem in life and all we do is sit back and not do anything about it. We should stand up for ourselves and defend others because as we slowly start to hid away and to push away our problems they will just keep getting bigger. As we do that our meaning in life will start to die off. When it's too late you will feel sorry and regret your decision of not doing anything. It's now or never.

This quote means to me that nothing will happen if we don't speak up about the things we believe in or feel passionate about. For example during the civil rights movement people were joining forces against the government and spoke up about how things should be equal for every race. What happened? In 1964 the civil rights act got passed. This is what this quote means to me!!

This quote means to me nothing will happen if you don't put the change int action and speak up about what you believe is right. And life will no longer feel good if you don't speak up and make it better

I think it means if we don't speak up we won't get the help we need or a stop to segregation and or racism. It also means the day you stop trying is the day you won't get what you need or want. But if we do speak up and continue trying until we see change or progress, we will get rid of the things we don't need or the negativity stopping the world to be one and together. Just like he did (MLK), he did not stop trying until his life ended. He wanted change and to stop segregation and racism and get a new path.

¨Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.¨ -Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think that this quote means if we don´t speak up about important things, or speak up about our problems. then we wont get the justice/help that we need. and if we never ask for help then we will forever be stuck in the position were in, we will never progress or move on from our past.

This quote means to me that you cant change your evryday life or the world. If you dont speek up for yourself. Your life is meaningliss he is saying if you dont speek up or try to change the world. By not saying naything you are hurting your life and evryones life. martin Luther king was sick if being treated terribly so he did something about it. People that were going through racism too said you know what he isnpires me im goona do the same thing. By speaking up for whats right you can change not only your life but peoples life around you.

I believe this quote is trying to say is the day you give up and stop trying and caring is the day that could have changed your life.  This mean to me that you should never give up on this that matter and things that are important to you. I think Martin Luther king Jr said this because he knew he couldn't give up on something so important, not to just him but to all african americans. Martin Luther King Jr was the voice for his  people. His speech changed not just people but it changed history for everyone.

what this quote means to me that when people stop caring about things that's important. And that people need to care about more important things and make the world a better place. and when people don't sick up for what they think is right because people today aren't doing that and others are being killed for unnecessary reasons. we need to fight for what we think is right and help out others. we are all in this together we just need to get others to realize that they are needed to speak and not stay silent.

what this quote means to me is that life is to short and we shouldn't waste it. I saw someone get bullied at school and I didn't do anything to stop it and when I got home that day I felt mad that I didn't do anything about it.

# data[].attributes.body
What this quote means to me is that if we don't stick up for ourselves or if we just sit and let things happen without doing or saying anything then that the day we end because were not trying to fight for whats best. We need to fight for whats right without letting others get to us. Its like getting bullied and not saying or doing nothing about it your obviously going to keep getting bullied to the point were you cant anymore because your not saying or doing anything about it. What i think about this quote is that we need to fight ourselves more not just for us but for everyone. we need to work together and stick up for are selves . We are stronger together than we know and some people don't see that. We shouldn't just sit and wait for something to happen or for someone to help us. We have the power to fight for whats best and that's what we should be doing.

What i think he means by this is if you don't speech up to things that matter  our lives will become meaningless. i thank this because you are not trying to change the things that matter to you and if you don't try to change it your death will become almost meaningless.
because you didn't fight to change or do what matters to you. you are actually hurting what matters to you instead of helping it
