Mountains of Despair - Stones of Hope

One day youngsters will learn words they do not understand. Children from India will ask, "What is hunger?" Children from Alabama will ask, "What is racial segregation? Children from Hiroshima will ask, "What is the atomic bomb?" Children at school will ask, "What is war?" You will answer them, "Those words are not used anymore - like stage coaches, galleys or slavery. Those words are no longer meaningful. That is why they have been removed from dictionaries."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
