Martin Luther King, Jr.Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here.

We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands.
