The Hard Work Remains


Our American Martyr, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote: 


“The black revolution 

is forcing America to face 

all its interrelated flaws       – 

racism, poverty, militarism, and materialism.

 It is exposing evils that 

are rooted deeply 

in the 

whole structure of our society.  

It reveals 

systemic 

rather than superficial 

flaws and 

suggests 

that 

radical reconstruction of society itself 

is the real issue to be faced. ... 


[O]nly by structural change 

can current evils be eliminated, 

because the roots are in the system 

rather than in men 

or faulty operations.”  


~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in a posthumously published essay titled “A Testament of Hope.”
