Indeed, you might even gain that deepest of all satisfactions: knowing that your short time on this earth has been well spent, and that it mattered.

And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.

So also, in a state of peace and love, people evolve, grow in their distinctive culture, and develop perfect civilization.
