If you will protest
courageously, and yet with
dignity and Christian love,
when the history books are
written in future
generations, the historians
will have to pause and say,
'There lived a great
people—a black people—
who injected new meaning
and dignity into the veins o f
civilization. ’
— Rev. M artin Luther King Jr. in a Montgomery,
Ala. address, Dec. 3 1 ,1 9 5 5

From the prodigious hilltops o f New
Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty
mountains o f New York, let freedom ring. From
the heightening Alleghenies o f Pennsylvania, let
freedom ring. But not only that: Let freedom
ring from every hill and molehill o f Mississippi.
- Rev. Martin Luther King from his “I Have a Dream” speech, Aug. 28, 1963
