Charleston, South Carolina

"Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured… Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity…" --Rev. Martin Luther King.
