Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s address to the annual gathering of Quakers, summer 1958
"We will be able to emerge from the bleak and desolate midnight of man's inhumanity to man into the bright and glittering daybreak of freedom and justice. This is what stands ahead. We've made progress, and it is great progress that we must make if we are to fulfill the dreams of our democracy, the dreams of Christianity, the dreams of the great religions of the world...let us continue, my friends, going on and on toward that great city where all men live together as brothers in respected dignity and worth of all human personality. This will be a great day, a day, figuratively speaking, when the 'morning stars will sing together, and the sons of God will shout for joy.'"
