We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy

Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
