"Now is the time for this nation to fulfill it's promise... |
|
We face a moral crisis as a country and as a people. It cannot be met by repressive police action. It cannot be left to increased demonstrations in the streets. It cannot be quieted by token moves or talk. It is a time to act. Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality". - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
from KENNEDY by Theodore C. Sorensen Oct. 1965
Kennedy was of course speaking about the civil rights movement but isn't it just perfect for now?
