( 1968 ) Commentary by Brooks D. Simpson, Arizona State University
  • “What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.” - Remarks on the Death of Martin Luther King
  • “Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.” - Remarks on the Death of Martin Luther King
