Read this passage:
The tortuous road which has led from Montgomery,
Alabama to Oslo bears witness to this truth. This is a road
over which millions of Negroes are travelling to find a new
sense of dignity. This same road has opened for all
Americans a new era of progress and hope. It has led to a
new Civil Rights Bill, and it will, I am convinced, be widened
and lengthened into a super highway of justice as Negro
and white men in increasing numbers create alliances to
overcome their common problems.
-- Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech,
1964
