  4. IMPORTANT QUOTES • “JUSTICE TOO LONG DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED”

  5. “SO THE QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER WE WILL BE EXTREMISTS BUT WHAT KIND OF EXTREMISTS WE WILL BE. WILL WE BE EXTREMISTS FOR LOVE OR FOR HATE? WILL WE BE EXTREMISTS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF JUSTICE OE EXTREMISTS FOR THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE?”

  6. We must see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.”

  7. We must use time creatively in the knowledge that time will inevitably cure all ills. Actually time is neutral. It can be used either destructively or constructively.
