"Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by storms of persecutions and staggered by the winds of police brutality.

You have been the veterans of creative suffering.

Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.

Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our modern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be
changed. "



I think what King meant was that changing the situation requires sacrifice and that through that shared experience of sacrifice that black Americans
would gain the recognition and the rights they deserved.

I believe the Pope has recently expressed the same idea.

booyah, once I didn't put something here and it didn't post.
It's sort of in the bible, I Pet 2, if you do wrong and suffer for it, serves you right, but if when you do well and suffer and you take it patiently this is thankworthy...
