I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities
and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be
concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught
in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single
garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects
all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the
narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives
inside the United States can never be considered an
outsider anywhere in this country.
-Martin Luther King Jr., April 16, 1963
