Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes
The recent statement of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart and I found myself in full accord when I read its opening lines: "A time comes when silence is betrayal."

We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
