"I know you are asking today, 'How long will it take?' Somebody's asking, 'How long will prejudice blind the visions of men, darken their understanding, and drive bright-eyed wisdom from her sacred throne?' Somebody's asking, 'When will wounded justice, lying prostrate on the streets of Selma and Birmingham and communities all over the South, be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men?' .... How long? Not long, because they arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
-- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., March 25, 1965, Montgomery, Alabama |
