QUOTES: MARTIN LUTHER KING "BEYOND VIETNAM"

 

"We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent coannihilation. We must move past indecision to action.... If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.

Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world."

--Speech given April 4, 1967, New York.
