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,Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all af God's children. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.

 This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equally. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be nether rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights.

The whirwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges But there is something that 1 must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy out thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred .

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force 6 a The marvelous new militancy which has enguifed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
