Martin Luther King, Jr.
I always had a deep affection for Malcolm and felt that he had a great ability to put his finger on the existence and the root of the problem. He was an eloquent spokesman for his point of view and no one can honestly doubt that Malcolm had a great concern for the problems we face as a race.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A lie cannot live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a man has not discovered anything so dying is not worth living
