The Martin Luther King Promenade has several of his quotes etched in the pavement. The Promenade is adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center and San Diego's famous Gaslamp District.
This quote reads:
"When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love. Where evil men would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good men must seek to bring into being a real order of justice."
This website (

Martin Luther King Jr. was, of course, one of the key American Civil Rights and anti-war leaders of the 1960s. Read more about him at (
