Another example Leadership?

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

We must ever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.
