"Human progress...

...is neither automatic nor inevitable. Even a superficial
look at history reveals that no social advance rolls in on
the wheels of inevitability. Every step toward the goal of
justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless
exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
Without persistent effort, time itself becomes an ally of
the insurgent and primitive forces of irrational emotionalism
and social destruction. This is no time for apathy or complacency.
This is a time for vigorous and positive action."
