“I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values.The giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

A nation that continues year after year to pour money into war and ignoring social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
