25. Important and permanent change doesn't happen overnight

It takes much time for any change, especially progressive change to become permanent. If you look back on the 20th Century an overview will soon make us all realize it was the Century of the fight for equality from a quarters. The struggle continues.

MLK himself said he wouldn't be here with us to see it happen. As long as we continue to fight for all human rights I think he would be encouraged by our struggle against oppression.
