Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.

America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.'
