Martin Luther King, Jr. - Quotation #23 - San Diego, CA - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Waymarking.com

The quote reads:

"IF ONE IS REJECTED BECAUSE HE IS UNEDUCATED
HE CAN AT LEAST BE CONSOLED BY THE FACT THAT IT
MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO GET AN EDUCATION.
IF ONE IS REJECTED BECAUSE HE IS LOW ON THE
ECONOMIC LADDER, HE CAN AT LEAST DREAM OF THE DAY
WHEN HE WILL RISE FROM HIS DUNGEON OF ECONOMIC
DEPRIVATION. IF ONE IS REJECTED BECAUSE HE SPEAKS
WITH AN ACCENT HE CAN AT LEAST IF HE DESIRES
WORK TO MAKE HIS SPEECH IN LINE WITH THE DOMINANT
GROUP. IF HOWEVER, ONE IS REJECTED BECAUSE OF HIS
COLOR, HE MUST FACE THE ANGUISHING FACT THAT HE IS
BEING REJECTED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING IN HIMSELF
THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED. ALL PREJUDICE IS EVIL. BUT THE
PREJUDICE THAT REJECTS A MAN BECAUSE OF THE COLOR
OF HIS SKIN IS THE MOST DESPICABLE EXPRESSION OF
MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR."
