Read this passage:
the tortuous road which has led from montgomery,
alabama to oslo bears witness to this truth. this is a road
over which millions of negroes are travelling to find a new
sense of dignity. this same road has opened for all
americans a new era of progress and hope. it has led to a
new civil rights bill, and it will, i am convinced, be widened
and lengthened into a super highway of justice as negro
and white men in increasing numbers create alliances to
overcome their common problems.
-- martin luther king jr., nobel prize acceptance speech,
1964
