I may get me crucified I may even die but I want it said that he died to make men free-Martin Luther King Divine order radiating from Kings and Gods...A madman has put an end to his life, for I can only call him mad who did it and yet there has been enough of poison spread in this country during the past years and months and this poison has had effect on people's minds. We must face this poison, we must root out this poison, and we must face all the perils that encompass us and face them not madly or badly but rather in the way that our beloved teacher taught us to face them. The first thing to remember now is that no one of us dare misbehave because we are angry. We have to behave linke strong and determined people, determined to face all the perils that surround us, determined to carry out the mandate that our great teacher and our great leader has given us, remembering always that if ,as I believe, his spirit looks upon us and sees us, nothing would displease his soul as much as to see that we have indulged in any small behavior or any violence --Nehru in a speech given extemporaneously by radio to the people of India on the death by assassination of Gandhi -- Jan. 30, 1948I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
