A message of Grace and Love

"To our most bitter opponents we say: 'Throw us in jail and we will still love
you. Bomb our houses and threaten our children and we will still love you. Beat
us and leave us half dead and we will still love you. But be ye assured that we
will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.' "
-Martin Luther King Jr.
"The American Dream"
July 4, 1965
[speech, Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, GA]
