Photograph of the writing on the statue of Dr. MLK. On statue: If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation: and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. Now the judgment of God is upon us, and we must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools.

Photograph of the writing on the statue of Dr. MLK. On statue: If you will protest courageously and yet with dignity and Christian love, when the history books are written in the future generations the historians will have to pause and say, "There lived a great people--a black people--who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization." This is our challenge and our overwhelming responsibility.
