Letter From A Birmingham Jail, by MLK, Jr.
So much of this essay is still so damningly true.
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the…Ku Klux Klan, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice…who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom.”
— MLK, Jr.
