Martin Luther King, Jr., Holt Street Baptist Church, 1955

...there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression

... If we are wrong, the Supreme Court of this nation is wrong.

If we are wrong, the Constitution of the United States is wrong.

And if we are wrong, God Almighty is wrong.

If we are wrong, Jesus of Nazareth was merely a utopian dreamer
that never came down to Earth.


If we are wrong, justice is a lie, love has no meaning.

And we are determined..to work and fight until justice runs down like water,
and righteousness like a mighty stream.


Martin Luther King, Jr.
