I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as
Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American
dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream
of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not
argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and
resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country
where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.

Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the
meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal
element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the
primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour in which this system
still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are
really talking about humanism.

In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons
equally, we must treat them differently.

Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous,
outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they
wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me.

you are, look within and examine your own self.
