Doctor Kings last great work, Trumpet of Conscience, recently jumped into my lap and demanded to be read. Here are some notable excerpts that have stood out to me so far,
"Where does the future point?"
"Today the question is not whether we shall be free but by what course we shall win."
"The storm will not abate until a just distribution of the fruits of the Earth enables man everywhere to live in dignity and human decency."
"...as billions of deprived shake and transform the earth in their quest for life, freedom, and justice."
"...for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent."
And Forward we march! Those of us who will are here to "save the soul of America".
