“To develop a sense o f black consciousness and people hood does not
require that we scorn the white race as a whole. It is not the race per se that
we fight but the policies and ideology that leaders o f that race have
formulated to perpetuate oppression."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"A doctrine o f black supremacy is as evil as a doctrine o f white
supremacy."

"Like life, racial understanding is not something that we find but
something that we must create. And so the ability o f Negroes and whites to
work together, to understand each other, will not be found readymade, it
must be created by the fact o f contact."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the lime is always
ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise o f democracy and
transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm o f brotherhood.
Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand o f racial
injustice to the solid rock o f human dignity."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"It is pretty difficult to like some people. Like is sentimental and it is
pretty difficult to like someone bombing your home; it is pretty difficult to
like somebody threatening your children; it is difficult to like congressmen
who spend all o f their time trying to defeat civil rights. But Jesus says love
them, and love is greater than like."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"For years now we have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings in the ear of
every Negro with piercing familiarity.
"Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of
segregation to say, 'Wait.' But whenyou have seenvicious mobs lynchyour
mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim;
when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse, kick, and even kill your
black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority o f your twenty
million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage ofpoverty in the midst
o f an affluent society...when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense
o f 'nobodiness’-then you will understand why we find it difficult to. wail.
