"Let us therefore continue our triumph and march to the
realization of the American dream. Let us march on segregated
housing, until every ghetto of social and economic depression
dissolves and Negroes and whites live side by side in decent,
safe and sanitary housing.
"Let us march on segregated schools until every vestige
of a segregated and inferior education becomes a thing
of the past and Negroes and whites study side by
side in the socially healing context of the classroom.
"Let us march on poverty, until no American parent has to skip a
meal so that their children may march on poverty, until no
starved man walks the streets of our cities and towns in search
of jobs that do not exist.
"Let us march on ballot boxes, march on ballot boxes until race
baiters disappear from the political arena. Let us march on
ballot boxes until the Wallaces of our nation tremble away in
silence.
"Let us march on ballot boxes, until we send to our city
councils, state legislatures, and the United States Congress men
who will not fear to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with
their God.
