And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?

And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.

[Peace] is the highest and most strenuous act of the soul, but an entirely harmonious act, in which all our powers and affections are blending in a beautiful proportion, and sustain and perfect one another. It is more than the silence after storms. It is as the concord of all melodious sounds ... an alliance of love with all beings, a sympathy with all that is pure and happy, a surrender of every separate will and interest, a participation of the spirit and life of the universe.... This is peace, and the true happiness of [humanity].
