...Negro, I, too, must bear my share of the shame and horror of Dr. King's untimely death. Whether I burn or kill (by God's grace, I hope to do neither), I am associated with those who do. And we dare to point indiscriminate accusing fingers at whites. The answer to whether Dr. King labored in vain will not be determined alone by the success or failure of civil rights legislation or by improvement of housing and economic opportunities for minorities, but also by the degree to which all of us, blacks and whites, are committed...
While the South Vietnamese braced themselves to bear heavier burdens in the war, the North Vietnamese felt, at least temporarily, a great weight lifted from their shoulders.

...intensity by the church choir, were pure "soul"; a succession of black-robed speakers praised the memory of Dr. King in fustian oratory rich with Biblical imagery. In effect, it was a crystalline demonstration of the fact that Negro churches, by and large, are fundamentalist in outlook and still bear the marks of their origin as the spiritual hope of a people who once were slaves...
