Context: The darkness of racial injustice will be dispelled only by the light of forgiving love. For more that three centuries American Negroes have been frustrated by day and bewilderment by night by unbearable injustice, and burdened with the ugly weight of discrimination.

But if this happens, the new order we seek will be little more than a duplicate of the old order. We must in strength and humility meet hate with love.
