Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
that are timeless,
yet fresh with new meaning
on the eve of this Inauguration Day:
Now let me suggest first that
if we are to have peace on earth,
our loyalties must become ecumenical
rather than sectional.
Our loyalties must transcend
our race,
our tribe,
our class,
and our nation;
and this means
we must develop a world perspective.
No individual can live alone;
no nation can live alone,
and as long as we try,
the more we are going to have war in this world.
Now the judgment of God is upon us,
and we must either learn
to live together as brothers and sisters
or we are all going to perish together as fools.
