Brutality was imprisoned in a lumious glare revealing the naked truth to the whole world

I'm grateful to God that, through the Negro church, the dimension of nonviolence entered our struggle.

We must have the faith that things will work out somehow, that God will make a way for us when there seems no way.

Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten....America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. If it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness-justice.

Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.

When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.
