Quote of the week

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 of civilization."

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
From an address given in Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 31, 1955
