Difficult
and painful as it is,
we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith
in the future.
When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair,
and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights,
let us remember
that there is a creative force in this universe,
working to pull down the
gigantic mountains of evil,
a power that is able to make a way out of no way
and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows.
Let us realize the arc of
the moral universe is long,
but it bends toward justice.
The Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., August 1967
