Men often hate each other
because they fear each other; they fear each
other because they don't know each other; they
don't know each other because they cannot communicate; they cannot communicate
because they are separated
- Let us be
dissatisfied until the world will no longer have a high blood pressure of
creeds and an anemia of deeds.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until the tragic walls that separate the outer city of
wealth and comfort from the inner city of poverty and despair shall be
crushed by the battering rams of the forces of justice.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until those who live on the outskirts of hope are brought
into the metropolis of daily security.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until slums are cast into the junk heaps of history, and
every family will live in a decent, sanitary home.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until the dark yesterdays of segregated schools will be
transformed into bright tomorrows of quality integrated education.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until integration is not seen as a problem but as an
opportunity to participate in the beauty of diversity.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until men and women, however black they may be, will be
judged on the basis of the content of their character, not on the basis
of the color of their skin. Let us be dissatisfied.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until every state capitol will be housed by a governor who
will do justly, who will love mercy, and who will walk humbly with his
God.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until from every city hall, justice will roll down like
waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. Let us be dissatisfied
until that day when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and
every man will sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall be
afraid. Let us be dissatisfied. And men will recognize that out of one
blood God made all men to dwell upon the face of the earth.
- Let us be
dissatisfied until that day when nobody will shout "White
Power!" — when nobody will shout "Black Power!" — but
everybody will talk about God's power and human power.
