There is the danger that those of us who have been forced so long to stand amid the tragic midnight of oppression-those of us who have been trampled over, those of us who have been kicked about-there is the danger that we will become bitter. But if we will become bitter and indulge in hate campaigns, the new order which is emerging will be nothing but a duplication of the old order. (Martin Luther King Jr.)
