Balta1701 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It is now for us, all the millions of the living who care, to take up his torch of love. It is for us to finish his work, to end the awful destruction in Vietnam, to root out every trace of race prejudice from our lives, to bring the massive powers of this nation to aid the oppressed and to heal the hate-scarred world. God rest your soul, dear Martin. You have fought the good fight. You have finished your course. You have kept the faith. Yours is now the triumphant crown of righteousness. Your dream is now ours. May God make us worthy and able to carry your torch of love and march on to brotherhood. Amen. L. Harold DeWolf, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dissertation advisor, at Dr. King's funeral.

Balta1701 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Eulogy for the Young Victims of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Bombing By Martin Luther King, Jr. 18 September 1963 - Birmingham, Ala. This afternoon we gather in the quiet of this sanctuary to pay our last tribute of respect to these beautiful children of God. They entered the stage of history just a few years ago, and in the brief years that they were privileged to act on this mortal stage, they played their parts exceedingly well. Now the curtain falls; they move through the exit; the drama of their earthly life comes to a close. They are now committed back to that eternity from which they came. These children-unoffending, innocent, and beautiful-were the victims of one of the most vicious and tragic crimes ever perpetrated against humanity. And yet they died nobly. They are the martyred heroines of a holy crusade for freedom and human dignity. And so this afternoon in a real sense they have something to say to each of us in their death. They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained-glass windows. They have something to say to every politician [Audience:] (Yeah) who has fed his constituents with the stale bread of hatred and the spoiled meat of racism. They have something to say to a federal government that has compromised with the undemocratic practices of southern Dixiecrats (Yeah) and the blatant hypocrisy of right-wing northern Republicans. (Speak) They have something to say to every Negro (Yeah) who has passively accepted the evil system of segregation and who has stood on the sidelines in a mighty struggle for justice. They say to each of us, black and white alike, that we must substitute courage for caution. They say to us that we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderers. Their death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly for the realization of the American dream [...] (linky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 One thing that just blows my mind here is the fact that Jimmy Carter, of all people, was taking cheap shots at Bush. Who the f*** is Mr. Malaise to talk about anybody? He is THE WORST President who ever took up residence in the White House. Go work on the drywall at one of those houses you like to build and leave being President to someone who actually knows how. f*** you Carter!

I think Bush 41 was not too bad, and certainly doesn't belong on any "worst" lists. Better than his son so far, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see your Andrew Johnson and raise you James Buchanan, NNS72! Buchanan was not nearly as hateful as Johnson, who wanted to make it official US policy (no joke) to exterminate all the Indians and send all the "negroes" (term at time) back to Africa. Plus Johnson was impeached, because of any number of crooked scams he ran out of his office. I'll stick with Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
