Martin Luther King's Last
Sunday Message Before His
Death, He Said...
There comes a time when
one must take the
position that is neither
safe nor politic nor
popular, but he must do
it because conscience
tells him it is right. I
believe today that there
is a need for all people
of goodwill to come with
a massive act of
conscience and say in
the words of the old
Negro spiritual, "We
ain't goin' study war no
more." This is the
challenge facing modern
man.

In
1965 President Lyndon B. Johnson said, at
Howard University
"The family is the cornerstone of our
society. More than any other force, it
shapes the attitude, the hopes, the
ambitions and the values of the child. And
when the family collapses, it is the
children that are usually damaged. When it
happens on a massive scale, the entire
community itself is crippled."
"The Negro cannot win if he is
willing to sacrifice the future of his
children for immediate personal comfort and
safety.’”
