Martin Luther King, Jr. | Give Us the Ballot

“Give us the ballot and we will fill our legislative halls with men of good will.”

From a 1957 speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. advocating voting rights for African Americans.
Delivered at the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom gathering at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on 17th May.

"It is difficult for me to know what Dr. King felt about gayness except to say that I’m sure he would have been sympathetic and would not have had the prejudicial view. Otherwise he would not have hired me." -BR https://t.co/183Ehdf6Ad
