More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

Many of the ugly pages of american history have been obscured and forgotten. a society is always eager to cover misdeeds with a cloak of forgetfulness, but no society can fully repress an ugly past when the ravages persist into the present. america owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. if it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness — justice.

It should be clear by now that a nation can be no stronger abroad than she is at home. only an america which practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice will be respected by those whose choice affects our future. only an america which has fully educated its citizens is fully capable of tackling the complex problems and perceiving the hidden dangers of the world in which we live. and only an america which is growing and prospering economically can sustain the worldwide defenses of freedom, while demonstrating to all concerned the opportunities of our system and society.

Our national debt after all is an internal debt owed not only by the nation but to the nation. if our children have to pay interest on it they will pay that interest to themselves. a reasonable internal debt will not impoverish our children or put the nation into bankruptcy.
