“..work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back,
when brown can stick around ...
when yellow will be mellow ...
when the red man can get ahead, man;
and when white will embrace what is right."
Reverend Joseph Lowery
When I heard this, I was floored. Also, the man himself, his persona, added to the weight of the words. Here's another, spoken at Coretta Scott King's funeral.
"We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there. But Coretta knew and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance. Poverty abounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor!"
