Lest we forget

Martin Luther King, Jr. with Father Theodore Hesburgh, CSC

I am aware that there are many who wince at a distinction between property and persons--who hold both sacrosanct. My views are not so rigid. A life is sacred. Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on; it is not man. [Martin Luther King, Jr.]
