What theme does Martin Luther King, Jr. support in the following passage
from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech?
I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the
blood-flowing streets of our nations, can be lifted from
this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of
men. I have the audacity to believe that peoples
everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies,
education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality
and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-
centered men have torn down men other-centered can
build up. I still believe that one day mankind will bow
before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over
war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive good will
proclaim the rule of the land. "And the lion and the lamb
shall lie down together and every man shall sit under his
own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid." I still
believe that We Shall overcome!
A. Strong people can bring about great change.
