A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin
Luther King, Jr.
"I have a dream
that one day men will rise up and come to see that they are made
to live together as brothers. . . "1a
NEW TESTAMENT
" . . .
[E]very time we kill one [Vietcong
soldier]
we spend about five hundred thousand
dollars while we spend only fifty-three dollars a year for
every person characterized as poverty-stricken in the
so-called poverty program . . .
"1b
"Midnight is the hour
when men desperately seek to obey the eleventh commandment,
"Thou shalt not get caught." According to the ethic of
midnight, the cardinal sin is to be caught and the cardinal
virtue is to get by. It is all right to lie, but one
must lie with real finesse. It is all right to steal,
if one is so dignified that, if caught, the charge becomes
embezzlement, not robbery. It is permissible even to
hate, if one so dresses his hating in the garments of
love that hating appears to be loving."1c
RICOEUR
SOROS
"
. . .
[T]he Negro confronts the Jew
in the ghetto as his landlord in many instances. . .
. . . We were living in a slum apartment owned by a Jew in
Chicago . . . We were paying $94 for four run-down, shabby
rooms, and we would go out on our open housing marches on Gage
Park and other places and we discovered that whites with five
sanitary, nice, new rooms, apartments with five rooms out in those
areas, were paying only $78 a month. We were paying a
twenty percent tax.
It so often happens that the Negro ends up paying a color
tax."1d
