Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to
comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread
across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love.--Paragraph

But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this
country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice
for all human beings who abide in our land.- Paragraph 10

is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness but
love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another and a feeling of justice
toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or black.-
