Martin Luther King, Jr.I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled.

In order to live creatively and meaningfully, our self-concern must be wedded to other concerns.
