I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.

Let us say boldly, that if the total slum violations of law by the white man over the years were calculated and compared with the lawbreaking of a few days of riots, the hardened criminal would be the white man.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.

I have DECIDED to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. GOD is love.

Injustice and corruption will never be transformed by keeping them hidden, but only by bringing them out into the light and confronting them with the power of love.

America, you must be born again!

The beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold.
