Text of quote:
"We have moved from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights, an era where we are called upon to raise certain basic questions about the whole society. We have been in a reform movement...
But after Selma and the voting rights bill, we moved into a new era,
which must be the era of revolution. We must recognize that
we can't solve our problems now
until there is a radical redistribution
of economic and political power...
this means a revolutrion of values
and other things. We must see now
that the evils of racism, economic
exploitation and militarism are all
tied togteher ... you can't really get
rid of one without getting rid of
the others ...the whole structure of
American life must be changed.
America is a hypocritical nation
and (we) must put (our) own house
in order." - M.L.K., Jr.
