Facts about Martin Luther King’s life

5.

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. If we haven’t a
problem with black and white people
in our country it doesn’t mean that we
haven’t problem in society at all. In
every country , in every town there are
general humanities questions.
Unity between blacks and whites.

You must always
remember about
humanity and it doesn’t
depend on where you
live. Love and wisdom,
and compassion toward
one another, and a feeling
of justice toward those
who still suffer, must live
in our hearts.

7. Conclusion

Therefore this
problem is still
important and
actual in our
turbulent times.
“Let us dedicate
ourselves to that,
and say a prayer for
our country and for
our people“.
