Violence Diminishes Our Humanity.

It's Going To Take An Act Of Congress To Deal With Poverty And Hunger, Not Only In This Country, But Throughout The World. We Have The Resources But We Don't Have The Will.

We Have A Lot More Work To Do In Our Common Struggle Against Bigotry And Discrimination. I Say "common Struggle" Because I Believe Very Strongly That All Forms Of Bigotry And Discrimination Are Equally Wrong And Should Be Opposed By Right-thinking Americans Everywhere. Freedom From Discrimination Based On Sexual Orientation Is Surely A Fundamental Human Right In Any Great Democracy, As Much As Freedom From Racial, Religious, Gender, Or Ethnic Discrimination.

I Still Hear People Say That I Should Not Be Talking About The Rights Of Lesbian And Gay People And I Should Stick To The Issue Of Racial Justice. But I Hasten To Remind Them That Martin Luther King Jr. Said, 'injustice Anywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere.' I Appeal To Everyone Who Believes In Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream To Make Room At The Table Of Brother- And Sisterhood For Lesbian And Gay People.

An Evil Deed Is Not Redeemed By An Evil Deed In Retaliation.

People Have To Allow Themselves To Be Used By God And Martin [luther King, Jr.] Committed Himself Totally To God's Will And Purpose And God Is Always Waiting For Someone Who Is Willing To Do That.
