’"Freedom riders must develop the quiet courage o f dying for
a cause. We would not like to sec anyone die. We all love life
and there are no martyrs here — but we are well aware that we
may have some casualties."
— M .L.K.
Now let me suggest first that if we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties
must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend
our race, our tribe, our class, our nation; and this means we must develop a
world perspective. No individual can live alone; no nation can live alone, and as
long as we try, the more we are going to have war in the world. Now the
judgement of God is upon us, and we must either learn to live together like
brothers or we are all going to perish together like fools.
