Famous Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Quote

"I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive."

I am not unmindful that you conventional members of the populous are nothing more than a vast array of Hollywood actor want-a-bes who are trying to change what is real to convince the Oscars judges of your award winning qualifications.    -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
