Mr. Quill, Officers and Delegates of this Constitutional Convention of the Transport Workers Union of America, Ladies and Gentlemen: I do want to pause to say how very delighted I am to be here today and to be some little part of this most significant convention. I want to express my personal appreciation to your distinguished President for extending the invitation and I am very happy that my schedule made it possible for me to be here.  \nI bring greetings to you from the South, a section of our nation in transition. Mr. Quill has mentioned to you the struggle which took place in Montgomery, Alabama, and I can hardly speak on any platform in America without bringing greetings from the citizens of Montgomery, particularly  \nthe 50,000 Negro citizens of that city, who, a few years ago, came to see that it is ultimately more honorable to walk in dignity than ride in humiliation. And as a result of their willingness to suffer and sacrifice for some 381 days, I am happy to report that the buses of Montgomery, Alabama are now thoroughly integrated and Negro passengers can sit anywhere on the bus in that city.  \nI am happy to report that the buses of Montgomery, Alabama are now thoroughly integrated and Negro passengers can sit anywhere on the bus in that city.  \nI also bring greetings to you from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of which I am President—an organization working tirelessly and assiduously to make the American dream a reality. And I want to express once more my personal appreciation to Mr. Quill, and to this great union, for the support that you have given us in our struggle in the South. Many of the leaders ofour organization, many of the officers ofour organization, have had to suffer as a result of their standing up for the cause of freedom and human dignity. They have had to suffer libel suits. They have had to suffer having their property and their automobiles taken away from them, all because of trumped-up charges on the part of the State of Alabama. I remember  \nsome months ago when this problem was presented to Mr. Quill. He immediately responded by giving us support to face these cases. And I want to thank him and I want to thank you, once more, for that support.  \nI also bring greetings from the student movement. These students in the South have taken our deep groans and passionate yearning and filtered them in their own tender souls, and fashioned them into a creative protest which is an epic known all over our nation. In a real sense, for all these months, they have moved in a uniquely meaningful orbit, imparting light and heat to distant satellites. And, as a result of their non-violent discipline, yet courageous action, they have been able to bring about integration at lunch counters in more than 100 cities of the South.  \nI am convinced that when the history books are written in future generations, historians will have to call this student movement one of the growing epics ofour heritage.  \nFreedom Rides Get Results  \nI should also mention to you the Freedom Rides, for you have supported the Freedom Rides in a most positive and concrete way. This Freedom Ride movement came into being to reveal the indignities and the injustices which Negro people still face as they attempt to do the simple thing of traveling through the South as interstate passengers. More than anything else, this movement revealed that segregation is still the Negro’s burden and America’s shame. As a result of this movement, concrete and meaningful things have happened and many achievements have come into being, the  \nmost recent being the ruling from the Interstate Commerce Commission, which says in substance that segregation must go in all interstate travel, and all bus terminals must now be thoroughly integrated, or else they will face sanctions by the Federal Government.  \nWhen your union was born ","cbCaisoJJKsV4cfY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisoJJKsV4cfY","pdf",255237,"English","# Introduction and Greetings from the South\n# Montgomery Struggle and Bus Integration\n# Student Movement and Nonviolent Protest\n# Freedom Rides and Federal Enforcement\n# TWU Leadership, Independence, and Equality","[{\"question\":\"What does Martin Luther King Jr. emphasize about the Montgomery struggle?\",\"answer\":\"He describes Montgomery’s citizens choosing dignity over humiliation and reports that, after sustained sacrifice, bus services are now integrated so Negro passengers can sit anywhere.\"},{\"question\":\"How does he describe the role of students in the civil rights movement?\",\"answer\":\"He says students transformed deep groans and yearning into a creative, nonviolent protest that helped drive integration at lunch counters across more than 100 southern cities.\"},{\"question\":\"What impact does King associate with the Freedom Rides?\",\"answer\":\"He states the Freedom Rides exposed the indignities and injustices faced by Negro travelers and helped lead to concrete action, including a ruling requiring integrated interstate travel and bus terminals.\"}]","MLK_ConventionSpeech - Address by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - TWU’s 11th Constitutional Convention | PDF",1790066047,13]
