But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. Werefuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the greatvaults of opportunity of this nation. And so we have come to cashthis check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches offreedom and the security of justice.

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of thefierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury ofcooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now isthe time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time torise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlitpath of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from thequicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God'schildren.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of themoment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontentwill not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom andequality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end but a beginning. Thosewho hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now becontent will have a rude awakening if

the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither restnor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted hiscitizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shakethe foundations of our nation until the bright day of justiceemerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand onthe warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In theprocess of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty ofwrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedomby drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must everconduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physicalviolence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights ofmeeting physical force with soul force.
