All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

My uncertainty disappeared. Segregation is evil, and I cannot, as a minister, condone evil.

We cannot be truly Christian people so long as we flaunt the central teachings of Jesus: brotherly love and the Golden Rule.

We must move past indecision to action. We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and for justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.

I will always remember my delight when Mrs. Georgia Gilmore - an unlettered woman of unusual intelligence - told how an operator demanded that she get off the bus after paying her fare and board it again by the back door, and then drove away before she could get there. She turned to Judge Carter and said: "When they count the money, they do not know Negro money from white money.

My parents would always tell me that I should not hate the white man, but that it was my duty as a Christian to love him.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
