Martin Luther King At Santa Rita

"Expediency asks the question is it Politic? Vanity asks the question is it Popular but Conscience asks the question is it right and there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, not politic, not popular but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right and that is where I stand today and that is where I hope you will continue to stand so that we can speed up the day when Justice will roll down like waters all over the world and righteousness like a mighty stream."
