Reply #68: A Time To Break Silence

[Jcrowley]

By Rev. Martin Luther King

"I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government."

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” 

"Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak."
