“Even where the polls are open to all, Negroes have shown themselves too slow to exercise their voting privileges.

Today, it is a form of moral and political suicide.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight, I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.”

Martin Luther King Jr
