The Bright Daybreak of Peace

"Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant."

—Martin Luther King Jr., 1964

The picture is by Miami-based photographer Flip Schulke, best known for his chronicles of the Civil Rights movement, who accompanied Dr. King for ten years until his assassination.
