This is why villains are stealing the aspect and bearing of heroes: because the heroism and moral clarity of civil rights is something others have, which they do not, and they cannot bear for others to have something that might otherwise come to them.

“Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds." 
"Let us be dissatisfied, until the tragic walls that separate the outer city of wealth and comfort from the inner city of poverty and despair shall be crushed by the battering rams of the forces of justice."

Let us be dissatisfied, until slums are cast into the junk heaps of history, and every family will live in a decent, sanitary home."
"Let us be dissatisfied, until the dark yesterdays of segregated schools will be transformed into bright tomorrows of quality integrated education."
"Let us be dissatisfied until integration is not seen as a problem but as an opportunity to participate in the beauty of diversity."

As should we all.
