WORDS TO OVERCOME CYNICISM

Recently, another series of Dr. Martin Luther King's unknown speeches was found in the archives of The New School in New York City.  The speeches were from a series of Lectures given by Dr. King on "The American Race Crisis."

When I read through the article by Mona El-Nagger (The New York Times), I was impressed once again by Dr. King words exhorting all citizens "not to be afraid knowing that we do live in a country where equality of opportunity is a reality."

Dr. King's rich, uplifting voice may be silent but his words once again ring true.  Words that inspire many of us to go on working toward that reality, even in the face of cynicism.
