Dr Martin Luther King, I have a Dream speech, Washington DC, August 28th, 1963:

"But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. "

Somebody tell Eric and his people about this speech.
