We're Going To Pray A

There Is A Great Fear Of Our Union - A Fear That I Do Not Fully Understand, But That I Know Is Present...what Is It That Causes Some Men To Act So Hastily And So Cruelly? It Cannot Be That We Are So Powerful. Is It So Much To Ask That The Poorest People Of The Land Have A Measure Of Justice?

Until The Chance For Political Participation Is There, We Who Are Poor Will Continue To Attack The Soft Part Of The American System - Its Economic Structure. We Will Build Power Through Boycotts, Strikes, New Union - Whatever Techniques We Can Develop. These Attacks On The Status Quo Will Come, Not Because We Hate, But Because We Know America Can Construct A Humane Society For All Its Citizens - And That If It Does Not, There Will Chaos.

When The Man Who Feeds The World By Toiling In The Fields Is Himself Deprived Of The Basic Rights Of Feeding, Sheltering, And Caring For His Own Family, The Whole Community Of Man Is Sick.

The First Principle Of Non-violent Action Is That Of Non-cooperation With Everything Humiliating.

You Know, If People Are Not Pacifists, It's Not Their Fault. It's Because Society Puts Them In That Spot. You've Got To Change It. You Don't Just Change A Man - You've Got To Change His Environment As You Do It.
